What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(.4)As the aircraft touched down, it began to veer to the right side of the runway. In an attempt to correct the situation, the pilot applied full power and left rudder. Before the pilot could regain directional control, the aircraft's landing gear collided with large rocks on the right side of the runway surface. Subsequently, the aircraft's right main and nose gear collapsed. No indication of a mechanical failure was found. (-23)the pilot, Mr. Frederick mugler, attempting to land his Cessna 182B at U59, Atlanta, ID, touched down short of the runway's threshold (34), to left of the runway's centerline at an acute angle to the same runway's centerline. In an attempt to correct this anomolly he applied left rudder and applied full power. In doing so his port wing tip contacted the runway and for a few hundred feet his aircraft was airborne until (because of his acute angle to the centerline of the runway on the opposite side of the centerline) his left main gear and nose wheel contacted the side of the runway shearing his nose wheel off and causing the propeller to contacted the runwway. This inturn caused his right wing to contact the edge of the runway turni ng the aircraft 90 degrees back to his original aircraft heading when he first touched down.
As the FAA filed it
(.4)AS THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN, IT BEGAN TO VEER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE SITUATION, THE PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER AND LEFT RUDDER. BEFORE THE PILOT COULD REGAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, THE AIRCRAFT'S LANDING GEAR COLLIDED WITH LARGE ROCKS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY SURFACE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT'S RIGHT MAIN AND NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. NO INDICATION OF A MECHANICAL FAILURE WAS FOUND. (-23)THE PILOT, MR. FREDERICK MUGLER, ATTEMPTING TO LAND HIS CESSNA 182B AT U59, ATLANTA, ID, TOUCHED DOWN SHORT OF THE RUNWAY'S THRESHOLD (34), TO LEFT OF THE RUNWAY'S CENTERLINE AT AN ACUTE ANGLE TO THE SAME RUNWAY'S CENTERLINE. IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS ANOMOLLY HE APPLIED LEFT RUDDER AND APPLIED FULL POWER. IN DOING SO HIS PORT WING TIP CONTACTED THE RUNWAY AND FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET HIS AIRCRAFT WAS AIRBORNE UNTIL (BECAUSE OF HIS ACUTE ANGLE TO THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CENTERLINE) HIS LEFT MAIN GEAR AND NOSE WHEEL CONTACTED THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY SHEARING HIS NOSE WHEEL OFF AND CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO CONTACTED THE RUNWWAY. THIS INTURN CAUSED HIS RIGHT WING TO CONTACT THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY TURNI NG THE AIRCRAFT 90 DEGREES BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL AIRCRAFT HEADING WHEN HE FIRST TOUCHED DOWN.
