What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: the student pilot was returning from a cross county flight and lost directional control of the aircraft after touchdown. He veered off runway 29R and came to rest in the dirt. The cross loading of the landing gear caused the left main gear to collapse which in turn caused the left wing tip, propeller and under area of the tail section to make contact with the ground. The pilot was not injured and the aircraft sustained minor damage. Weather conditions were VMC with a light cross wind. I contacted the flight instructor who is also the owner of the aircraft. The student has the proper sign off to operate this aircraft privacy data omitted considering this factor, I have elected to not take any further action against the student.
