During landing after an instructional flight, the left main landing gear of the Tecnam P92 Echo Super special light sport airplane (S-LSA) collapsed, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane. Examination of the landing gear revealed one of the three bolts used to secure the landing gear strut to the fuselage was sheared. As a result of the accident, the airplane manufacturer issued a mandatory Service Bulletin, which required operators to check the landing gear bolts for damage, deformation and tightness, within the next 10 hours.
Probable Cause: The failure of the landing gear bolt, which resulted in the collapse of the landing gear.
