An McDonnell Douglas MD-11F cargo plane, operated by Centurion Air Cargo, sustained substantial damage in a landing accident at S?o Paulo/Campinas-Viracopos International Airport, SP (VCP), Brazil. Flight WE425 operated on a cargo flight from Miami International Airport, FL (MIA), USA. The flight crew performed the IFR ILS Z procedure for runway 15 at Viracopos Airport. The prevailing weather conditions were VMC. The wind was 140 degrees / 19kt. When the aircraft was cleared to land, the wind strength was 20kt, with peak gusts at 29kt. Upon touchdown there was total collapse of the left main landing gear and the aircraft skidded along the runway for 800 meters before the final stop, sustaining damage to the left landing gear, left wing, and left engine. This same MD-11 was involved in an accident on October 20, 2009 when the right hand main landing gear leg was bent sideways during landing at Montevideo-Carrasco Airport (MVD), Uruguay. Contributing factors. – Aircraft maintenance – undetermined. In the tasks that led to the restoration of the aircraft airworthiness after the accident in Uruguay in 2009 (Hard-Landing), and also in subsequent periodic inspections, the existence of pre-crack traces resulting from a previous overload condition may not have been identified, something that could have resulted in a point of stress concentration.
