## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED GOODLAND, KS (GLD) WITH LEAVENWORTH, KS (FLV) AS THE FINAL DESTINATION. DURING LANDING ON RUNWAY 16, THE TAIL WHEEL TOUCHED DOWN AND THE PILOT NOTICED THE AIRCRAFT WAS HEADING TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE MAY HAVE INADVERTENTLY APPLIED THE LEFT BRAKE WHEN TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE RUDDER PEDAL TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT THEN VEERED TO THE LEFT LEAVING THE RUNWAY SURFACE COMING TO REST IN THE GRASS AREA TO THE LEFT OF RUNWAY 16. THIS CAUSED THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE RESULTING IN THE WING AND PROPELLER CONTACTING THE GROUND.
