Unsafe Condition
One of the two bolts attaching the actuator mounting bracket to the MLG Shock Strut was found loose, leading to failure of the other attachment bolt, subsequently resulting in failure of the bracket. This could prevent the MLG from extending to the full down-and-locked position, possibly resulting in MLG collapse upon landing or during roll-out, with consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to the occupants.
