Narrative:A Piper PA-34-200T Seneca II (G-CAHA) suffered an incident during landing at Dundee Airport (DND/EGPN). The light aircraft had one person on board and left the tarmac while taxiing. Photos from the scene suggest an undercarriage issue. No-one was injured in the incident.
UPDATE: The incident was the subject of an AAIB Investigation, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Investigation Report:
"AAIB investigation to Piper PA-34-200T, G-CAHA: Landing gear collapse during landing, Dundee Airport, 1 June 2022.
The aircraft had completed a final training flight on a multi-engine pilot (MEP) course and was on final approach at Dundee Airport. The downwind checks had been carried out and the student pilot confirmed “three greens”, indicating the landing gear was down and locked. Following what the instructor described as a normal landing, the aircraft began to wobble, listed to the right and the propeller on the right engine and the right wing struck the runway. The instructor took control and managed to keep the aircraft reasonably straight and brought the aircraft to a stop. The occupants escaped unhurt. On exiting the aircraft it was clear the right main landing had collapsed.
After the accident the engineers from the maintenance organisation responsible for the aircraft checked the entire hydraulic and electrical system and no fault could be found. Despite repeated selections of the landing gear there was no evidence of failure of the main and nose landing gear down lock safety mechanism and switches. The aircraft was subsequently not repaired as the aircraft has been written off by the insurers".
