| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that shortly after touchdown, the left main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft veered to the left, eventually exiting the runway edge and traveling down an embankment that's adjacent to the runway. Post accident inspection of the aircraft's left main gear hydraulic system revealed that the hydraulic actuator locking slide was undersized which allowed the gear to collapse (unlock) when placed under a load.
Probable Cause: Failure of the left main gear hydraulic actuator locking slide during landing. Factors include an embankment adjacent to the landing runway.
