What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was returning from a parachute drop and was preparing to land. Pilot realized that he was too high on the approach so he reduced power. Upon landing the aircraft hit the runway hard and bounced. Damage to right main scissor gear allowed the strut and wheel assembly to leave the aircraft.
The aircraft came to rest on the strut housing digging into the grassy runway side after spinning the aircraft ninety degrees to the right.
