## Narrative

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

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.

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.
