The pilot accompanied by a passenger took off from Kitty Hawk Aerodrome (FAKT) on a private flight to Baragwanath Aerodrome (FASY) in Gauteng province. On approach for Runway 13 at FASY, the aircraft’s speed was approximately 80 miles per hour (mph)/70 knots (kt), with first notch flaps selected (about 10 degrees). The aircraft landed hard on the runway. This was followed by a severe vibration just before the aircraft’s tail wheel touched the runway surface. The aircraft veered off to the right of the runway centreline and onto the grass area. The aircraft’s nose subsequently hit the ground and the aircraft came to a stop on the right edge of the runway with the left-wing low and the tail lifted. No injuries were reported by the pilot and the passenger.
PROBABLE CAUSE/CONTRIBUTING FACTOR
The aircraft landed hard on Runway 13 at FASY, resulting in the failure of the left-side main landing gear axle attachment bolts and nuts, and the subsequent separation of the main wheel and axle assembly from the left main landing gear.
