Narrative:
An Antonov An-2T, YV3312, sustained serious damage in an accident in Bolívar State, Venezuela.
The right-hand main gear leg collapsed as the aircraft landed on an unprepared strip.
Damage was sustained to the right-hand lower wing and propeller blades.
The Civil Aviation Accident and Incident Investigation Board (JIAAC), as part of the investigations initially conducted, determined that the probable cause of the incident was the explosion of the right main gear shock absorber; the weight of the aircraft, as well as the inadequate operation of the aircraft in the landing maneuver on unprepared runways are considered as contributing factors.
