| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The airline transport pilot had landed the airplane after conducting a personal flight. He stated that, while turning left off of the active runway after landing, the airplane "began veering to the left" and that the right main landing gear (MLG) subsequently collapsed.
Examination of the right MLG revealed that it had failed. Examination of the landing gear bellcrank revealed that one of the clevis knuckles on the long bellcrank arm was fractured. The fracture surface had a rough appearance and was at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the clevis arm, consistent with an overstress fracture. No other anomalies were noted with the landing gear.
Probable Cause: The pilot's turning the airplane too sharply while exiting the runway, which resulted in the failure of the right main landing gear bellcrank due to an overstress fracture.
