A Caravan II aircraft operated by Fugro Airborne Surveys (PTY) Limited had a right main landing gear (MLG) collapse during taxi for takeoff on runway 35. The aircraft was taxiing for an aerial survey flight over the area north and south of Malindi.
The pilot and the passenger did not sustain any injuries during the incident. The aircraft, however, sustained serious damage on the right wing and right propeller as a result of the incident.
The probable cause of the incident was determined to be failure of the right MLG actuator as a result of incorrect installation of the actuator locking keys. Contributory factor to this was failure of maintenance personnel to follow procedures of proper installation of actuator locking devices.
