DENISAR RICHARD A LANCAIR 320
Same as Factual Information
The pilot initially reported that the airplane landed "a little hard" and he performed a go-around. During the second landing, the right main landing gear collapsed and the airplane departed the right side of the runway. In a subsequent statement, he described the first landing as a "bounce" and suggested a phenolic block in the airframe landing-gear support structure had failed, which resulted in the gear collapse and substantial damage to the airplane. Examination of the wreckage and photographs by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspector revealed that an aluminum landing gear bracket as well as the surrounding structure failed due to impact and overload.
A hard landing by the pilot, which resulted in overload failure of landing gear components and surrounding structure.
