Narrative:
The airline transport pilot was landing a twin-engine retractable wheel airplane on a gravel-covered runway while on a cross-country personal flight. He said that after an uneventful touchdown, the right main landing gear collapsed, followed by the left main landing gear, and finally the nose landing gear. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and fuselage. A postaccident inspection of the airplane by an FAA airworthiness inspector disclosed a fractured rod end assembly, which was part of the landing gear extension and retraction system. The FAA inspector noted that he was unable to determine whether the fractured rod end assembly was a factor in the landing gear collapse, or if the rod end fractured as a result of the landing gear collapse.

Probable Cause: The collapse of the landing gear during the landing roll for an undetermined reason.
