What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The subject aircraft touched down two feet short of the runway threshold resulting in the main landing gear lower struts impacting the pavement edge. The left lower strut separated from the aircraft and the right bent over and continued supporting the aircraft, which rolled to a stop on the runway with the nose gear remaining intact. The pilot was not injured. No property was damaged. The aircraft received substantial structural damage from fuselage twisting and ground contact with most of the flight control surfaces.
