At about 11:00, the Piper Super Cub flew from the Biddinghuizen glider airfield to Lelystad Airport to refuel the aircraft. At Lelystad Airport runway 05 was in use. The wind direction was 140 degrees with a speed of 15 knots.
The pilot was flying at a speed of 60 miles per hour (Mph) on final approach, and banked to the right to compensate
for the crosswind from the right. According to the pilot, the first contact of the aircraft with the runway was on the right wheel and tailwheel, followed by the left wheel touching the ground. After landing, the right main landing gear collapsed after which the aircraft made a ground loop to the left and ended up in the grass next to the runway. The aircraft was damaged. The pilot was able to exit the aircraft unharmed.
The investigation showed that the landing gear shock strut had broken off, which caused the right main landing gear to collapse upwards. A visual inspection of this landing gear shock strut revealed no corrosion. No further investigation was conducted into the cause of the fracture. For this reason it cannot be established whether the landing gear shock strut was already damaged prior to the accident.
