## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS. AFTER THE FINAL FULL STOP LANDING AND TAXIING OFF THE RUNWAY WHILE ON THE TAXIWAY THE LEFT HAND LANDING GEAR CLAMP BROKE BECAUSE THE LANDING GEAR 'U' SPRING SPLINTERED. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND THE LEFT AILERON TOUCHED THE GROUND CAUSING MINOR SCRAPES TO ITS SURFACE. THE TAXI SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS LESS THAN 8 KNOTS ACCORDING TO THE PILOT.

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.
