| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that after completing commercial maneuvers for a commercial check ride, the flight returned to the airport for touch-and-go landings. While in the pattern, the landing gear was extended, however, the right main landing gear did not fully extend. Several attempts were made to extend the right main with no success. The aircraft was eventually landed with the left main and nose gear extended. When the aircraft settled on the right side, the aircraft skidded off the runway. Post crash inspection of the right main landing gear found that the main landing gear actuator was broken. Examination of the actuator determined that the component fractured in two locations. The fracture surfaces indicated the presence of closely spaced fatigue striations on the fracture surfaces that were located at the housing roller. The fracture surfaces that were located at the forward attaching bolt were indicative of overload.
Probable Cause: The failure of the landing gear actuator during landing as a result of fatigue.
