| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that after landing at Middelburg Airfield, he taxied the aircraft to the hangar with the engine idling. He then turned the aircraft to park the aircraft at the parking bay near the hangar when the right-hand undercarriage suddenly collapsed and the propeller made contact with the ground. PROBABLE CAUSE: The right-hand main undercarriage lower support clamp just below the undercarriage leg spring fractured at both ends due to cracks that started at the one end of the support clamp and caused the undercarriage to collapse.
