THE AIRCRAFT COMPLETED AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH AND LANDED HARD ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE FIRST WITH THE LEFT GEAR THEN THE RIGHT GEAR. THE TIRES BURST AND THE LOWER FUSELAGE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY SURFACE. AFTER THE NOSE GEAR TOUCHED DOWN, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. IT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND DEPARTED THE RUNWAY, COMING TO REST APPROXIMATELY 150 TO 200 YARDS FROM THE POINT OF DEPARTURE. INITIAL TOUCH DOWN OCCURRED ABOUT 12 FEET FROM THE THRESHOLD, TEN FEET LEFT OF CENTERLINE.
