The pilot reduced engine power to idle. However, the airplane encountered a “hole” causing the left main landing gear to collapse. A post accident inspection revealed that the left elevator had struck a Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) light. The left wing was also damaged. The pilot stated that there were no failures or malfunctions with the airplane prior to the accident. Recorded winds in the vicinity of the accident airport were from the south at 6 knots.
