## Narrative

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

DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT ON RUNWAY 11 THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  IT THEN COLLIDED WITH THE AIRPORT RUNWAY IDENTIFIER SIGN LOCATED @ THE SECOND TAXIWAY. THE LEFT HAND LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, CAUSING ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE BOWL, THE PROPELLER, THE WING LEFT REAR LIFT STRUT AND THE LEFT HAND WING. ADDITIONALLY,  THE LOWER FUSELAGE STRUCTURE BETWEEN THE LEFT HAND LANDING GEAR ATTACHMENTS WAS ALSO DAMAGED.

DURING THE ACCIDENT THE WINDS WERE GUSTING AND VARIABLE AND THE PILOT REPORTED IT SIMPLY PUSHED HIM LEFT DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT.
