Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
Just after the plt began the takeoff roll, the right main landing gear collapsed. An exam revealed that overload failure of the right main landing gear trunion tube had occurred. There was evidence that the overload resulted from either a previous hard landing or from a fork lift colliding with the aircraft while it was being loaded.
