## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH SLIGHT CROSSWIND, TOUCHING DOWN IN A SLIGHT CRAB WITH THE LEFT WING DOWN. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRE, A TUBELESS TIRE, LOST ALL AIR PRESSURE AND THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN AN ARCHING, ROLLING PATH ACROSS THE RUNWAY. SHORTLY AFTER THE AIRCRAFT STARTED THE ARCHING PATH, THE SURFACE OF THE RUNWAY CHANGED FROM CONCRETE TO ASPHALT. THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WHEEL RIM CAUGHT IN THE EXPANSION JOINT BETWEEN THE CONCRETE AND ASPHALT, CAUSING THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE. THE COLLAPSE OF THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR ALLOWED THE LEFT LOWER WING TIP TO STRIKE THE SURFACE, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THAT WING TIP. THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED ON PROPER CROSSWIND LANDING TECHNIQUES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
