What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot was cleared to land runway 34, winds were light, 320/04. The landing appeared to be normal but as the aircraft slowed and the tail began to settle the pilot perceived a gust of wind which moved the aircraft to the left off of centerline. When he tied to correct and move back to the centerline the aircraft did an uncontrolled 180 degree right hand turn. The aircraft came to rest as the left main landing gear collapsed.
