EQUIPMENT: See attached Installed Component Report

DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT:  On 09/27/2022 while on landing rollout, the aircraft experienced a gear collapse and slid off the right side of the runway where it came to a full stop on its belly.

DESCRIPTION OF DAMAGES: The aircraft sustained visible damage to various areas of the lower fuselage skin, landing gear doors, flaps, ailerons, wing-to-body fairings, engine cowlings and pylons.  Due to the unusual side loads incurred during the runway excursion, the wing root would need to be detail-inspected using non-destructive testing procedures.

Both engine pylons appear to be buckled.

Both engines seem to be in good condition as seen from the ground, but since both engines were powered at the time of the event, the engines will have to be removed and sent to an engine repair facility in search for foreign object ingestion in the form of dirt, debris or small rocks that laid adjacent to the runway.
