Narrative:

I was giving a chkout to a new owner in a C414. The preflight was normal. After air work en route to dalhart, I decided to stop for lunch in dalhart and after a normal descent and prelndg checklist, we landed (wind was straight down runway 17 at 5-10 KTS). On the landing rollout, the right gear collapsed. No injuries. According to NTSB we did not need to notify anyone. The FAA was tipped off by someone else and looked at plane. The FAA then told owner there was no need to report this, confirming what I thought. Then the FAA called owner back and asked why I didn't report and insinuated that I might be in violation so owner called me to tell me I could get a violation. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that right main gear, tip tank, propeller, and right flap were damaged. He said that no structural damage was sustained by the aircraft, and that the owner had not yet determined the cause of the gear failure.
