What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Statement taken from the pilot, indicates on 1 August 2023 I flew the Lancair 360 (experimental) that privacy data omitted on a short local triangular flight. There were no mechanical issues or indications during the flight. All landings were smooth. Upon my return to kcre, the landing and majority of the rollout were very smooth and down the centerline of the runway until almost all of the speed had bled off. At slightly above a walking pace, still on centerline (not yet initiating a turn onto a taxiway, the aircraft began to slowly list or lean to the right until the right (starboard) wing contacted
The runway and the aircraft pivoted into the grass to the right and slid to rest. The action was smooth and low speed, hence no trauma or injury to me (as the only occupant of the aircraft). The process seemed consistent with a very slow collapse of the right landing gear, causing rightward deflection of the aircraft and collapse of the remaining gear. Please see the attached photos.
As the FAA filed it
STATEMENT TAKEN FROM THE PILOT, INDICATES ON 1 AUGUST 2023 I FLEW THE LANCAIR 360 (EXPERIMENTAL) THAT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ON A SHORT LOCAL TRIANGULAR FLIGHT. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL ISSUES OR INDICATIONS DURING THE FLIGHT. ALL LANDINGS WERE SMOOTH. UPON MY RETURN TO KCRE, THE LANDING AND MAJORITY OF THE ROLLOUT WERE VERY SMOOTH AND DOWN THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY UNTIL ALMOST ALL OF THE SPEED HAD BLED OFF. AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE A WALKING PACE, STILL ON CENTERLINE (NOT YET INITIATING A TURN ONTO A TAXIWAY, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO SLOWLY LIST OR LEAN TO THE RIGHT UNTIL THE RIGHT (STARBOARD) WING CONTACTED
THE RUNWAY AND THE AIRCRAFT PIVOTED INTO THE GRASS TO THE RIGHT AND SLID TO REST. THE ACTION WAS SMOOTH AND LOW SPEED, HENCE NO TRAUMA OR INJURY TO ME (AS THE ONLY OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT). THE PROCESS SEEMED CONSISTENT WITH A VERY SLOW COLLAPSE OF THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR, CAUSING RIGHTWARD DEFLECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND COLLAPSE OF THE REMAINING GEAR. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS.
