The pilot and two passengers departed Baragwanath Aerodrome (FASY) on a ferry flight to Wonderboom (FAWB) Aerodrome on a PA-31-350 aircraft. The flight segment to FAWB was uneventful and, during approach at about 3 nautical miles (3NM) to FAWB, the pilot selected the landing gear down and the landing gear indication lights were green confirming that gears are down and locked.
The aircraft touched down normally on runway 29 and, during the landing roll, the left main landing gear (MLG) collapsed. Damage was sustained to the left propeller and left wing. No one was injured. Post-accident inspection of the MLG showed that the left MLG side brace had fractured.
The investigation revealed that the left-hand main landing gear collapsed due to fractured MLG side brace.
