## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING AND APPLICATION OF BRAKES, A SHUDDERING SENSATION WAS FELT FROM RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. INTENSITY OF VIBRATION INCREASED UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT YAWED RIGHT AND DEPRTED RUNWAY AND CAME TO ABRUPT STOP IN MUDDY INFIELD. RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR SEPERATED FROM FORWARD SPAR, RUPTURED UPPER TRUNION HEAD AND PULLED LANDINGING GEAR ASSEMBLY AWAY FROM TRUNION MAOUNTS CAUSING BOTH ENGINE PROPELLERS TO CONTACT GROUND AND STOP. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO RIGHT WING SPAR.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
