## Narrative

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

(-23) ON LANDING AT THE PILOTS OWN DIRT LANDING STRIP, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TOUCHED DOWN IN SOFT DIRT. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR BROKE LOOSE FROM IT'S MOUNTING ALLOWING THE RIGHT WING TIP AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER TO CONTACT THE GROUND CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.

## 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.
