What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Mr. Bet was returning to Eureka (murry fld) to land after performing 5 touch-n-go's and spending time flying in the practice area. Mr. Bet landed on runway 29 with a 5KT cross wind from 240. He landed on the center of the runway successfully. During the rollout he veered to the left of the runway where the left main landing gear tire entered the dirt. He says this pulled the acft uncontrollably harder left and the rest of the gear were also now in the dirt. The nose gear got stuck, pitching the acft upward and the propeller impacted the ground. This bought the acft to a halt. No injuries to Mr. Bet, the only occupant. The acft's propeller was bent, engine mount broken, firewall damaged, rudder control horn bent, and the right wing aft spar was bent.
