## Narrative

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

WHILE LANDING, THE PILOT OF THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 18, ROLLED APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET, THEN VEERED OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  ONE PROPELLER BLADE STRUCK A PRECISION APPROACH PATH INDICATOR AND SHATTERED.  THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR HIT A HOLE AND SEPERARATED FROM THE AIRCRAFT.  DUE TO THE MISSING GEAR, THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON ITS RIGHT SIDE CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING.  THE REMANING PROPELLER BLADE THEN CONTACTED THE GROUND CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE FIREWALL DUE TO THE SUDDEN STOPPAGE.
