## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT EXECUTED A NORMAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 34 AT FYV IN VMC CONDITIONS. FOLLOWING A NORMAL TOUCHDOWN, AS THE MLG ACCEPTED THE WEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT, THE R/H MAIN WHEEL WAS REPORTED TO START VIBRATING AS IF IT WERE FLAT. THE VIBRATION WAS REPORTED AS SUBSTANTIAL, AND THE PILOT WAS NOT ABLE TO HOLD THE AIRCRAT ON THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT PULLED TO THE RIGHT, DEPARTING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, PROCEEDING INTO THE TURF IN A TURN TO THE RIGHT. AS THE SKID PROGRESSED, WITH THE LEFT WING LEADING, BOTH MLG FAILED TO THE RIGHT DUE TO THE SIDELOAD. AT THAT TIME, BOTH PROPELLERS MAY HAVE STRUCK THE GROUND, BUT BECAUSE THE AIRCRAFT'S DIRECTION OF TRAVEL ACROSS THE TURF WAS APPROXIMATELY PARALLEL TO THE PROPELLER PLANE OF ROTATION, NO DAMAGE WAS VISIBLE ON EITHER PROPELLER OR ENGINE. THE LEFT WING SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. ALL FIVE PERSONS ONBOARD WERE ABLE TO DEPLANE WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. INSPECTION OF THE R/H MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLY SHOWED ONE THIRD OF THE INNER WHEEL HALF FLANGE MISSING, AND THE TIRE TO BE FLAT WITH THE TUBE BLOWN.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
