            Background: A MLG collapsed on roll out after landing. Investigation revealed that one of the two bolts that secure the downlock platform of the MLG locklink was missing. As a result of an AOT another operator reported broken lockwire and one of the affected bolts was loose. This unsafe condition if not corrected may result in further landing incidents.
