## Narrative

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

THE PILOT AND TOWER PERSONNEL REPORTED THAT THE APPROACH AND LANDING WERE NORMAL.  THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHEN THE NOSE CAME DOWN, THE LEFT GEAR COLLAPSED.  THE AIRPLANE THEN WENT OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  AN EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT, SHOWED THAT THE LEFT MAIN TIRE HAD A SIDE LOAD, WHEN IT TOUCHED DOWN.  IT ALSO WAS LOCKED UP.  THIS CAUSED A 2 INCH HOLE IN THE TIRE.  THIS CAUSED THE TIRE TO DEFLATE PUTTING AN ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE GEAR, CAUSING IT TO COLLAPSE.

WHEN THE PLANE WAS PUT ON JACKS, THE TIRE ROTATED, WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, INDICATING THE PILOT MIGHT HAVE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BREAK.

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.
