## Narrative

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

(-23) UPON LANDING DURING ROLLOUT A/C WAS HIT BY A GUST OF WIND. PILOT ADDED POWER, BALLOONED. A/C VEERED LEFT AND EXITED RUNWAY. (.4)ON MAY 6, 2000, ABOUT 1525 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, A TURBINE-POWERED CESSNA P210N, N67Y, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED DURING A LANDING AT ADDINGTON FIELD (EKX), ELIZABETHTOWN, KENTUCKY. THE CERTIFICATED PRIVATE PILOT WAS UNINJURED, TWO PASSENGERS WERE UNINJURED, AND ONE PASSENGER RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED FOR THE LOCAL PERSONAL FLIGHT, CONDUCTED UNDER 14 CFR PART 91. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, DURING TOUCHDOWN ON RUNWAY 23, THE AIRPLANE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT. THE PILOT APPLIED POWER AND LEFT RUDDER TO CORRECT THE SWERVE. "THE CORRECTION WAS AN OVERCORRECTION WHICH PULLED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT." THE PILOT PULLED BACK ON THE YOKE AS THE AIRPLANE WAS GOING OFF THE RUNWAY, TO PREVENT THE NOSEWHEEL FROM DIGGING INTO THE ROUGH TERRAIN AND A SUBSEQUENT NOSE-OVER. HOWEVER, AT SOME POINT, THE "NOSEWHEEL APPARENTLY CAME OFF AS THE AIRCRAFT SLOWED, AND THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND, RESULTING IN DESTRUCTION OF THE ENGINE." IN ADDITION, THE RIGHT                     MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, AND THE RIGHT WINGTIP STRUCK THE GROUND. ACCORDING TO AN INSPECTOR FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA), THERE WAS A SKID MARK ON RUNWAY 23 THAT ARCED TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE MARK CONTINUED APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET, BEFORE ANOTHER SKID MARK WAS ALSO SEEN. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE MARKS WAS THE APPROXIMATE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE NOSE GEAR AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR ON THE ACCIDENT AIRPLANE. BOTH SKID MARKS PROCEEDED OFF THE RUNWAY, INTO A GRASSY AREA. "THE SKID MARKS TURNED INTO A TROUGH AT THE RUNWAY EDGE." THE TROUGH CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 300 FEET, WHERE THE INSPECTOR FOUND THAT THE NOSE LANDING GEAR HAD SEPARATED FROM THE AIRPLANE. APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET BEYOND THE NOSE GEAR, THE INSPECTOR FOUND THE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY, WHICH ALSO HAD SEPARATED FROM THE AIRPLANE. THE AIRPLANE CAME TO REST, "WITH THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND RIGHT WING TIP ON THE GROUND AND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED INTO THE WHEEL WELL." WINDS, RECORDED AT THE AIRPORT ABOUT 35 MINUTES AFTER THE ACCIDENT, WERE FROM 210 DEGREES MAGNETIC, AT 9 KNOTS.
