## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE PERFORMING A CROSSWIND LANDING, A GUST OF WIND PICKED THE RIGHT WING UP AFTER TOUCHDOWN CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO TURN INTO THE WIND, WITH THE RIGHT TIRE CATCHING THE GRASS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED INTO A CROSS DRAINAGE DITCH CAUSING THE RIGHT GEAR TO COLLAPSE. THE ENGINE, WHICH WAS AT IDLE, MADE CONTACT WITH THE BANK OF THE DITCH AND STOPPED. NO INJURIES REPORTED.

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.
