## Narrative

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

PILOT LEFT KHIO AND HEADED FOR KLGD A LITTLE AFTER 11AM.  PILOT DECIDED TO LAND AT 9S9 TO PICK UP SOME FUEL.  AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN A FEW MINUTES BEFORE 1PM.  THE TOUCH DOWN AND FIRST PART OF THE ROLL OUT WERE ROUTINE. PILOT TOUCHED DOWN WHERE HE INTENDED AND AT THE SPEED HE INTENDED TO.  IT DID NOT BOUNCE AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS STRAIGHT.  AFTER ROLLING OUT ABOUT 150FT PILOT NOTICED THE AIRCRAFT WAS STARTING TO TURN TO THE RIGHT.  PILOT ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT BUT WAS UNABLE.  AS THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO TIP LEFT WING DOWN, THE LANDING GEAR FAILED, POSSIBLY AS A RESULT OF THE EXCESSIVE LOADING DUE TO THE RAPID RIGHT TURN WHILE ON ROLL OUT.  THE TIME BETWEEN THE BEGINNING OF THE TURN AND THE AIRCRAFT COMING TO REST WAS VERY SHORT.  PERHAPS 2 SECONDS.  PILOT HAS NO CLEAR RECOLLECTION OF WHAT MY CONTROL INPUTS WERE.
