## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS LOADED WITH 1600LBS OF FERTILIZER AND WAS TAKING OFF TO THE SOUTH ON A DIRT RUNWAY. PILOT WAS APPROACHING 65 MPH, WHEN THE RIGHT HAND MAIN WHEEL AND TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND SEVERAL TIMES, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO FLIP OVER AND CAME TO REST FACING NORTH. INSPECTORS FOUND BRAKE ATTACHMENT CLIP APPROX 270 FEET FROM AIRCRAFT WRECKAGE ON THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT HAND WHEEL AND THE ASSY. STILL HAD THE AIRCRAFT AXLE ATTACHED. THE THREE ATTACHMENT BOLTS THAT SECURE THE AXLE SHAFT TO THE RIGHT HAND SPRING GEAR HAD SHEARED OFF. TWO OF THE THREE BOLTS SHOWED SIGNS OF CORROSION, BEFORE SHEARING.

## 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.

Probable cause: The separation of the right main landing gear wheel and axle during take-off. Contributing factors were the fatigue of the bolts on the right main landing gear and the rough and uneven terrain.
