The airplane impacted terrain when the right main landing gear collapsed upon landing touchdown. Examination of the right landing gear revealed that the brace assembly - right hand side, part number 5041000-46, was fractured. The fracture surface displayed multiple initiations at the edge of the slot and an oxidized area with a distinct terminus, features consistent with fatigue.
