Aircraft
We flew the approach down to CAT 1 minimums of 211 ft due to the fact that there was heavy rain storms over the field. There was about a 12 knot crosswind from the right. Spotted the lead in lights at minimums clicked the autopilot off and landed right side of center line of the runway. Experienced a little 'float' but a normal and uneventful landing. Taxied to the gate and parked the Aircraft. Normal taxi no unusual feeling or noise. I was notified that the gear had collapsed later that day; while on the gate.
The Reporter stated that he did not have any more information. The Reporter stated that he was notified a couple days after the event and doesn't even know which gear was involved or the nature of the collaspe. The Reporter also stated that the ALPA rep or maintenance haven't called him back with more information.
The aircraft we operated experienced major landing gear damage that became apparent when the next operating crew returned to the gate with a different mechanical issue. We flew a normal Cat I ILS in IMC conditions during a heavy rain event at the field. We continued to land at minimums with the red terminator bars in view and saw the entire runway environment shortly after. Landing was slightly right of centerline but the PF (Pilot Flying) quickly corrected back to center and autobrakes quickly decelerated the aircraft. There were no abnormal indications or indication of anything wrong as we rolled out or taxied in to the gate.
A320 Flight Crew reported being notified later that the gear collapsed while parked at the gate.
