A Great Lakes Aviation Beech 1900D, registration N218YV performing flight ZK-5150 from Pueblo,CO to Denver,CO (USA) with 9 passengers and 2 crew, was on final approach to Denver's runway 35L when the crew reported "Wind Shear at 24 feet" followed by "rudder failure", then reporting they veered off the runway at 06:29L (12:29Z). The airplane came to a stand still off the runway, the left main gear collapsed. No injuries occurred.
The airline reported the aircraft had almost come to a stop when the gear collapsed.
The NTSB reported on May 28th that both crew reported in written testimony that prior to landing the N, RH and L lights illuminated green, the left "H" however did not illuminate. They also observed that the gear in transit light remained illuminated and the gear motor continued running for about 16 seconds until the circuit breaker popped. Seeing three greens and knowing that the gear down indications had back up systems both crew agreed that the gear was down and locked. The first officer reported that the captain also performed a visual check and confirmed all three gear struts were down and locked. A few seconds after touch down the aircraft began to wobble however and the left landing gear collapsed.
The top cap of the nose gear actuator was found on the runway near the point of touch down and was fractured. This part as well as the nose and left main gear actuators were removed from the aircraft for further analysis.
The damage to the aircraft was limited to the nose gear, left main gear, left wing tip and skin of the underside of the left wing.
