## Narrative

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

DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED UNDERNEATH THE ARCRAFT CAUSING IT TO VEER LEFT AND DEPART THE PAVED RUNWAY SURFACE.  THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE SNOWY AREA AT LOW SPEED AND SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING, LEFT MAIN GEAR, LEFT PROPELLER, AND LEFT ENGINE.

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.
