| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that she received her approach clearance about 12 miles from the airport. At that time, she lowered the landing gear and performed a 'gumps' check which included checking the gas, undercarriage, mixture and propeller. After lowering the landing gear, she observed a green landing gear light. The landing seemed normal, and the pilot did not hear a gear warning horn. The right main landing gear collapsed and the airplane spun 180 degrees on the runway. Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration Inspector, and a local mechanic, did not reveal any pre-impact mechanical malfunctions.
Probable Cause: The right main landing gear collapsed for undetermined reasons.
