During the landing, the right main landing gear collapsed, and the airplane nosed over. Examination of the landing gear strut revealed that the bungee cord attach tube had failed from internal corrosion. This area was not visible during normal preflight and was difficult to see during an annual inspection. The airframe had accumulated 2,212 hours since new and 37 hours since the last annual inspection. The investigation did not determined when the last bungee cord was replaced.
Probable Cause: failure of the right main landing gear shock strut due to internal corrosion. The restriction to inspection of the strut was a related factor.
