The pilot stated that as he was landing on runway 36 at Potgietersrus aerodrome, a warthog ran across the runway from the right to the left. The aircraft had sufficient airspeed to allow him to lift the nose gear; however, the left main landing gear struck the warthog and collapsed. The pilot managed to keep the aircraft straight for approximately 100 metres, during which time he shut down the engine. The aeroplane then started to drift to the left-hand side of the runway, resulting in the left elevator striking the ground. The aircraft came to a halt 50-60 metres to the left of the runway centre-line. Damage to the aircraft was limited to the left main gear and left elevator. The pilot sustained no injuries as a result of this accident. The last Mandatory Periodical Inspection (MPI) had been carried out on 21 September 2006 at 3 825.0 flying hours and the aircraft had been operated for 39.0 flying hours since the last MPI. Probable Cause The aircraft struck a warthog during landing, resulting in the collapse of the landing gear and the pilot losing directional control.
