## Narrative

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

WEATHER WAS CLEAR, WITH THE WINDS FROM 200 DEGREES AT 5 KNOTS. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED CENTER OF RUNWAY AND WAS ON LANDING ROLLOUT, WITH THE ENGINE AT IDLE. ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH THE ROLLOUT, THE AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT. THE PILOT APPLIED THE LEFT BRAKE IN AN ATTEMPT TO BRING THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY. WHEN THE LEFT BRAKE RELEASED, THE AIRCRAFT WAS POINTED TOWARDS A CORN FIELD. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR MADE CONTACT WITH A FURROW WHERE THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR SEPARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT. THE RIGHT WING COLLAPSED TO THE GROUND AND SLID ALONG THE CORN UNTIL THE LEFT GEAR CONTACTED THE FURROW. AT THAT POINT THE AIRCRAFT STARTED A SLIDE TO THE LEFT UNTIL THE LEFT GEAR COLLAPSED. AT THAT POINT, THE AIRCRAFT ROTATED UP ON ITS NOSE AND TO LEFT, WHERE THE WING SUSTAINED DAMAGE AT THE OUTER WING TIP UPON CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. AT THAT TIME THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED BACK TO THE GROUND IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION.

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.
