## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT UPON LANDING ON RUNWAY 09L, HAD THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSE. CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO YAW TO THE RIGHT, DURING THE SLIDE TO THE RIGHT, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THEN THE NOSE WHEEL CAME OFF THE NOSE GEAR FORKS. THE AIRCRAFT ENDED UP IN THE GRASS ALONG THE RUNWAY. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS OBSERVED.

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.
