## Discrepancy

RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON ROLLOUT AFTER TOUCHDOWN.  INITIAL INSPECTION REVEALED OUTBOARD MAIN LANDING GEAR RETRACTION LINK (PN 504100112) SEPARATED FROM RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUT AT ITS TWO ATTACH POINTS.  BOTH BREAKS APPEAR TO BE INSTANTANEOUS AND UPPER STRUT ATTACH LUG AND BOLT WERE SHEARED.  NO OBVIOUS CAUSE FOR THE BREAKS WERE APPARENT.
