Read the full NTSB narrative

THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED DURING THE LANDING AND RAN OFF THE RUNWAY. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE PILOT SAID HE WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 24 USING 30 DEGREES OF FLAPS. THERE WAS A WIND OF 18 KTS GUSTING TO 25 KTS FROM THE SOUTH. THE PILOT SAID A STRONG GUST CAUSED THE ACFT TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT DURING THE LANDING FLARE AND WHEN THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. THE ACFT CONTINUED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO A CORNFIELD BEFORE COMING TO REST. THE LANDING AIRPORT IS UNATTENDED AND THE ONLY WIND INDICATOR IS A WIND SOCK.
