## Narrative

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

THE PATTERN WAS A LITTLE LOWER THAN NORMAL, ALTHOUGH THE FINAL APPROACH WAS NORMAL.  MR. KLEMENT'S STATED THAT THE TOUCHDOWN ON THE LEFT MAIN GEAR WAS SLIGHTLY HARDER THAN NORMAL.  DURING THE ROLLOUT, HE FELT THE AIRPLANE LEAN TO THE LEFT, AND HE TAXIED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  HE STATED THAT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS JUST ABOUT STOPPED, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED.NO INJURIES OR FIRE.  NO STRUCTUAL DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE, WINGS OR FLIGHT CONTROLS. MR. KLEMENTS HAS ORDERED THE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY AND WILL HAVE IT INSTALLED AT PUNTA GORDA.

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.
