## Narrative

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

ON 10/27/2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 14:55 PDT, N27RR LANDED REID HILL-VIEW AIRPORT (RHV).  IN A STATEMENT FROM THE PILOT, AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE MAINS AND JUST AFTER THE NOSE WHEEL TOUCHED DOWN, THE LEFT MAIN STARTED TO COLLAPSE FOLLOWED BY THE RIGHT MAIN, NOSE WHEEL REMAINED DOWN.  THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF TO THE LEFT ONTO THE DIRT.

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.
