## Discrepancy

(CAN) ACFT COLLAPSED ON GROUND AFTER RT MLG FOLDED UP.  NO WITTNESSES AS THE ACFT COLLAPSED ON THE RAMP SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT WITH NO ONE AROUND. MAINTENANCE JACKED ACFT UP AND SUPPORTED IT ON JACKS.  INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE RT ACTUATOR CLEVIS FITTING HAD BROKEN UNDER LOAD. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE ACTUATOR LOOSING PRESSURE. THE GEAR SYS IS ADESIGN STC INSTALLATION.
