What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)Pilot stated he was attempting to land on runway 6 and was not aligned with the center of the runway. The aircraft struck the runway very hard and bounced approximately 10 feet in the air. The aircraft then went off the left side of the runway and the left main landing gear collapsed. As the aircraft continued traveling off the left side of the runway, the left wing tip hit an embankment, causing the aircraft to reverse direction to an approximate heading of 240 degrees. The nose gear and the right main landing gear collapsed, with the aircraft coming to rest in tall grass approximately 1750 feet down the side of the runway. This investigation is closed.
