## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS ON FINAL FOR LANDING WITH THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA ^ IN THE LEFT SEAT. THE TOUCHDOWN WAS TOO FAST AND THE AIRCRAFT BALLOONED INTO THE AIR. THROTTLE WAS ADDED AND THE TORQUE PULLED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN IN A LEFT CRAB AND DEPARTED RUNWAY 05 TO THE LEFT. AS THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY THE RIGHT GEAR FAILED. AFTER THE GEAR FAILED THE RIGHT WINGTIP HIT THE GROUND. THE PILOT STATED THE WIND WAS ABOUT 10 KNOTS RIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY, BUT THE WIND WAS NOT A FACTOR.
