## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS IN LEFT CLOSED TRAFFIC FOR THE OPTION RUNWAY 29. AFTER TOUCHDOWN AIRCRAFT BECAME UNCONTROLABLE AND THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY AS THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP. NO INJURIES REPORTED.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
