A Piper PA-30-160 with registration ZS-DVD, sustained substantial damage when the right main gear collapsed during landing on runway 35 at Grand Central Aerodrome (FAGC). Neither of the two pilots on-board the aircraft were injured in the accident. Visual flight rules prevailed, and a flight plan was filed for the flight which departed FAGC on a crew evaluation flight (Commercial Pilot Licence test).
PROBABLE CAUSE
The right main gear push-pull rod was unable to withstand the lateral forces that were applied to it during the landing roll. This caused the push-pull rod to bend to an extent that it was not possible to support the right main gear, and the gear subsequently collapsed.
