## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT LEFT MAIN WHEEL ENCOUNTERED SOFT, LOOSE DIRT DURING LANDING ROLLOUT ON GRASS AIRPORT. PILOT STATED STEERING AND BRAKE HAD NO EFFECT.  AIRCRAFT PIVOTED LEFT AND GEAR COLLAPSED.  PILOT AND WITNESS STATED THAT APPROACH LANDING AND ROLLOUT WERE NORMAL UNTIL AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED THE SOFT LOAM.  DURING POST ACCIDENT INSPECTION, THE TAIL WHEEL WAS FOUND SLIPPING IN TO FREE CASTER MODE AND WOULD NOT REENGAGE STEERING. THIS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING ROLLOUT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

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.
