## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MARCH 1, 2007, AT 1128 PACIFIC STANDARD TIME, A MONOCOUPE 110 FLIPPED OVER ON ITS BACK WHILE ON ROLL OUT FROM A LANDING ON RUNWAY 26 AT CAMARILLO AIRPORT (KCMA). THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED AT THE TIME FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROVIDING FLIGHT INSTRUCTION TO ITS OWNER, A COMMERCIAL PILOT. THE PILOT IN COMMAND AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR IS AN AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS SEATED IN THE LEFT HAND PILOT SEAT WITH THE STUDENT IN THE RIGHT SEAT. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED WITH WINDS OUT OF THE WEST (260 AT APPROXIMATELY 10 KNOTS). THE FLIGHT WAS OPERATED UNDER VISUAL FLIGHT RULES. THERE WERE NO WITNESSES TO THE ACCIDENT. THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT BOTH REPORTED A NORMAL APPROACH AND TOUCH DOWN WITH THE STUDENT AT THE CONTROLS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED TO LAND BY THE CONTROL TOWER ON RUNWAY 26. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE WAS PLANNING TO EXIT AT TAXIWAY BRAVO, THE SECOND TAXIWAY FROM THE END OF RUNWAY 26. BRAVO IS APPROXIMATELY 2,000 FEET FROM THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE MONOCOUPE 110 ONLY HAS BRAKE PEDALS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRCRAFT VEERED RIGHT CAUSING THE LEFT WING TIP TO MOMENTARILY STRIKE THE RUNWAY. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE THEN TOOK THE CONTROLS AND APPLIED LEFT RUDDER TO COUNTERACT THE RIGHT TURN. AS HE DID SO BOTH HE AND THE STUDENT REPORTED THAT THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE AIRCRAFT THEN FELL BACK ONTO THE LEFT WING TIP DRAGGING BOTH THE TIP AND THE COLLAPSED LANDING GEAR ON THE RUNWAY AND CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE SURFACE AS WELL. IT THEN PITCHED OVER ON ITS NOSE DIGGING THE PROPELLER HUB AND ENGINE COWL INTO THE RUNWAY SURFACE. THE AIRCRAFT THEN FLIPPED OVER ONTO ITS BACK. THE VERTICAL STABILIZER IMPACTED THE RUNWAY CAUSING TORSIONAL BENDING OF THE LONGERONS IN THE EMPENNAGE. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ABEAM THE CONTROL TOWER AT INTERSECTION BRAVO ON RUNWAY 26. BOTH INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS AND BRUISES. THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED.
