## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR RUNWAY 31R AND HAD BEEN CLEARED FOR TOUCH AND GO. A HEAVY BOEING 767 WAS MAKING A "STRIGHT IN" FOR APPROACH FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 31L. (THE TRHRESHOLD FOR 31R IS APPROX. 4800 FEET BEYOND THE THRESHOLD FOR RUNWAY 31L, AND THE CENTERLINES ARE APPROX. 360 FEET APART). APPARENTLY THE PILOT OVERSHOT FINAL FOR 31R SLIGHTLY AND WAS LOW ON FINAL WHEN SHE ENCOUNTERED WAKE TURBULENCE FROM THE B-767 WHICH HAD TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 31L. THIS CAUSED THE CESSNA TO IMPACT THE GROUND ABOUT 90 FEET EAST OF RUNWAY 31L AND 590 FEET FROM THE END OF RUNWAY 31L, OR ABOUT 210 FEET SHORT OF THE THRESHOLD FOR RUNWAY 31L. THE A/C LEFT LANDING GEAR AND NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, AND THE A/C SLID APPROX. 150 FEET ONTO RUNWAY 31L.
