## Discrepancy

ON TOUCHDOWN, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT.  THE ACFT PULLED TO THE LEFT AND CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 350 FEED FROM THE TOUCHDOWN POINT IN THE GRASS ON THE LT SIDE OF RNWY.  THE INVESTIGATION IDENTIFIED THAT THE LT MLG FAILED AT THE WELD POINT OF THE AXLE VERTICAL TRANSITION TO THE HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL MEMBER OF THE LANDING GEAR LEG.
