What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
When landing, the pilot stated he initially touched down on the main landing gear. When the nose wheel touched the runway, the aircraft veered to the left of the runway centerline. The pilot corrected back toward the centerline, but was unable to regain control of the aircraft. Again, the aircraft veered toward the left runway edge, departed the pavement and struck a runway distance marker. The impact spun the aircraft sideways to the left causing the collapse of the right main and nose landing gear. The pilot stated that the engine was still running, so he secured and exited the aircraft with his passengers.
