What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated that the point of departure was the livermore airport and the intended destination was the lodi airport. It was a re-position flight for maintenance (annual inspection). During the enroute phase of the flight, he experienced his passenger door open. He diverted to the Byron Airport to resolve the issue. He stated that he followed all non-towered airport procedures and after receiving the AWOS, elected to use runway 12. Although windy and gusty conditions had been reported at the airport per the -9 accident form, he stated that there were no significant winds. He also stated that there was no traffic reporting over the comm radios in the traffic pattern/terminal environment. I asked him if he felt the approach was stabilized and he responded yes. As he transitioned from the final approach phase in to the flare, the aircraft bounced upon touchdown and uncommandedly veered to the left. The right main gear and nose gear collapsed and a prop strike occurred.
