## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT ELECTED TO MAKE HIS APPROACH FOR LANDING AT THE SLIDELL AIRPORT TO AN APPROVED GRASS LANDING AREA WHICH IS LOCATED SOUTH OF AND ALONG A LINE EXTENDING SOUTH OF THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY. THE PILOT STATED HIS APPROACH WAS SOMEWHAT FASTER THAN NORMAL AND THAT HE TOUCHED DOWN LONG IN THE LANDING AREA DUE TO WIND GUSTS OCCURING ON FINAL APPROACH. THE PILOT STATED THAT IN HIS EFFORTS TO GET THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED, HE BELIEVES THE BRAKES LOCKED UP PERHAPS DUE TO THE GRASS BEING WET, RESULTING IN A FORWARD SKID. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE END OF THE PAVED TAXIWAY, BECAME MOMENTARILY AIRBORNE AND TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN, SWERVING TO THE LEFT AND CAUSING THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR PIN TO SHEAR AND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TO COLLAPSE. THE RIGHT WING ALSO RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE WHEN STRIKING THE GROUND.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
