## Discrepancy

(CAN) LT MLG SEPARATED FROM AIRCRAFT DURING LANDING. THE LOWER OLEO STRUT WITH THE WHEELS AND AXLE DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT; AIRCRAFT LANDED ON DRAG STRUT WHICH THEN COLLAPSED AND SHEARED OFF. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE LOWER FUSE, LT NACELLE, ENGINE AND PROP, AND LT WING TIP. PILOT REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NOT A HARD LANDING. MFGS ARE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT.  (TC NR 20070425002)
