Narrative:
A few mi from the airport (ZZZ), ready to land, I put the landing gear handle down and I saw that I had 2 green lights, not 3. I reduced the power and I could hear the landing gear. I recycled 3 times. The last one I had the 3 greens. I spoke with the tower and I told them that I was going to fly close to the tower, so they could confirm the 3 landing gear down. Regarding this information, and following the indication, I communicated to the tower my intention of landing. Once we landed on runway 13, during the ground roll, the left landing gear collapsed and we hit the runway. The plane slid to the left, coming to a stop on the runway. After examination of the landing gear by an aircraft mechanic, it was found that the rod connected to the end of the actuator was separated from the assembly.

Title: A CE90 SINGLE PLT EXPERIENCED A GEAR FAILURE DURING ROLLOUT AT ZZZ.
Narrative: A FEW MI FROM THE ARPT (ZZZ), READY TO LAND, I PUT THE LNDG GEAR HANDLE DOWN AND I SAW THAT I HAD 2 GREEN LIGHTS, NOT 3. I REDUCED THE PWR AND I COULD HEAR THE LNDG GEAR. I RECYCLED 3 TIMES. THE LAST ONE I HAD THE 3 GREENS. I SPOKE WITH THE TWR AND I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO FLY CLOSE TO THE TWR, SO THEY COULD CONFIRM THE 3 LNDG GEAR DOWN. REGARDING THIS INFO, AND FOLLOWING THE INDICATION, I COMMUNICATED TO THE TWR MY INTENTION OF LNDG. ONCE WE LANDED ON RWY 13, DURING THE GND ROLL, THE L LNDG GEAR COLLAPSED AND WE HIT THE RWY. THE PLANE SLID TO THE L, COMING TO A STOP ON THE RWY. AFTER EXAMINATION OF THE LNDG GEAR BY AN ACFT MECH, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ROD CONNECTED TO THE END OF THE ACTUATOR WAS SEPARATED FROM THE ASSEMBLY.
