## Narrative

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

IMMEDIATELY AFTER LANDING WHEN THE PLANE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 40-50 KNOTS, THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT INTO A GRASSY AREA NORTH OF THE RUNWAY AND SLID TO A STOP.

THE PLANE CAME TO REST ON THE LEFT WING AND TAIL.  THE NOSE GEAR AND RIGHT MAIN GEAR WERE FOUND TO BE IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.  THE PROPELLER OR ENGINE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY DAMAGE.

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.
