## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE LANDING AT THE GREENVILLE, ALABAMA (PRN) AIRPORT, THE PILOT'S SEAT LOCKING MECHANISM FAILED, ALLOWING THE SEAT TO MOVE AFT, RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL DURING THE LANDING. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RUNWAY 32 TO THE RIGHT, COLLAPSING THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR AND COMING TO REST ON THE LEFT WING TIP. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED DURING THIS INCIDENT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
