## Narrative

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

ON FINAL FOR RUNWAY 35 AT OX RANCH, 01TX, AT 50FT ABOVE TOUCHDOWN PILOT RETARDED THE THROTTLES TO IDLE AND AT THAT TIME ENCOUNTERED WIND SHEAR, 50KT LOSS OF AIRSPEED. THE AIRSPEED DROPPED RAPIDLY AND THE WIND SHEAR VIOLENTLY FORCED THE AIRCRAFT DOWN ONTO THE RUNWAY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. WITH MAX LEFT CONTROL CORRECTIONS, PILOT UNLOCKED THE THRUST REVERSERS, APPLIED BRAKES AND REACHED TO GET GROUND SPOILERS DEPLOYED. AT THAT TIME, PILOT STATED THAT IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED. FURTHER CONTROL INPUTS GAVE NO RESPONSE NOR DID THE TILLER. THE AIRCRAFT ENDED UP SLIDING IN THE GRASS AND THROUGH A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP SOME DISTANCE FROM THE RUNWAY. AFTER STOPPED, THE CO-PILOT OPENED THE DOOR AND EVACUATED THE 8 PASSENGERS OUT OF THE AIRCRAFT. PILOT RAN THE APPROPRIATE CHECKLIST FOR THE SITUATION AND EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AT THE TIME. NO POST-CRASH FIRE. THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR DID COLLAPSE PUSHING THE MECHANISM UP THROUGH THE WING. THE FENCING DAMAGED THE WINGS AND HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL STABILIZERS SIGNIFICANTLY.
