## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON OCTOBER 8, 1996, AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 HOURS LOCAL, WOODROW ANSELEN WAS PILOT-IN-COMMAND OF HIS PERSONALLY OWNED EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT CALLED A BUCKNER JUNGMANN BU-131, ON A FLIGHT ORIGINATING FROM CORONA, CALIFORNIA WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LANDING AT FLABOB AIRPORT, RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, DURING THE DECELERATION, HE NOTICED THE AIRCRAFT BEGIN TO SETTLE TOWARDS THE RIGHT WING AND IT BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE AIRCRAFT EXECUTED APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREES ROTATION TO THE LEFT (PART OF A GROUND LOOP) BEFORE COMING TO A HALT WITH THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COMPLETELY COLLAPSED AND THE LEFT MAIN GEAR PARTIALLY COLLAPSED. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE LANDING GEAR AND PROPELLLER, AND THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. HE REPORTED THAT PRIOR TO THIS FLIGHT HE HAD EXPERIENCED A BIRD STRIKE RESULTING IN AN ENGINE FAILURE AND WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN ENGINE OUT LANDING. ATHOUGH THE LANDING WAS ON A PAVED RUNWAY THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD. AFTER REPAIRING THE ENGINE, AN INSPECTION DID NOT REVEAL DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR, BUT HE FELT THE RIGHT GEAR WAS STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED WHICH RESULTED IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE GEAR ON THE INCIDENT FLIGHT. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED.

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.
