AAIB investigation to Alpi Pioneer 300, G-IPKA: Main landing gear collapse whilst taxiing, Fenland Airfield, Lincolnshire, 20 August 2022. The AAIB Final Report into the incident was published on 10 August 2022, and the following is the summary from the report...
"The aircraft landed on Runway 26 at Fenland Airfield. As the aircraft taxied, its left main gear collapsed causing the left wing to contact the ground
Whilst taxiing after landing the left main landing gear collapsed due to the failure of the swinging leg. The leg had fractured in overload initiating close to the weld between the swinging leg and its pivot tube. As a result of this investigation the Light Aircraft Association (LAA) are reviewing design and manufacturing aspects of the type’s landing gear, including whether on-going maintenance action is required.
