What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 5/31/2013 N9816G, a Cessna 172L departed greenville, ME to Millinocket, ME (mlt) with one soul on board, the privacy data omitted, a student pilot. Upon landing on the centerline on runway 29 at mlt, the aircraft stared to track left, the right main gear tire was rolled off the rim. The aircraft continued to track left with the right rim scaring the runway until the side load folded the right main gear under the cabin causing substantial damage to the gear attach point. The aircraft then came to rest on the left side of the runway. This caused the right wing tip to strike the ground causing unknown damage. The propeller still in motion hit the ground causing it to bend and causing substantial damage to the firewall. No injuries.
