- Date: April 9, 2007
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 200 Super King Air
- Location: Perth, Western Australia, Australia
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Two separate component failures: a left torque tube support bearing seized from lack of lubrication and contamination, and geared components in the right main gear actuator failed prematurely. The ATSB could not determine which was the main contributor.
A Super King Air 200 chartered from Perth developed a jammed landing gear after takeoff. After two hours of holding, the pilot landed and both main gear legs collapsed on touchdown. The aircraft was substantially damaged, and no one was injured.
