Crew observed right main landing gear unsafe indication on extension at destination. Emergency gear extension procedures did not result in safe indication. After landing, right main gear collapsed as aircraft came to a stop. Significant damage was discovered to the right main gear actuator support structure.
Multiple aircraft experienced diverse landing gear malfunctions, including collapses during landing, failures to extend/lock, and retraction issues.
These failures frequently resulted in significant structural damage to various parts of the aircraft, such as actuator supports, bulkheads, and wheel well structures.
Contributing factors included hydraulic fluid deficiencies, structural fatigue (e.g., fasteners, corrosion), actuator problems, and operational rigging interactions.
