What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During the second attempt at landing on runway 18 the airplane departed the runway to the right. A post accident investigation revealed both the left and right main tire marks on the runway were overlapping, indicating an extreme right nose direction but the direction of travel was almost in line with the runway. When the airplane departed the runway on the right side, the left main gear collapsed due to high side load, the left wing impacted the grass, and the airplane spun left approximately 180 degrees before coming to a rest in the grass. The pilot verbally stated the right brake locked up and caused the airplane to depart the runway. During a post accident investigation, the right wheel was free to move. However the right brake pad had been warn to the rivets.
This is an continuing investigation. This 8020-23 will be amended as necessary.
