## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT TOOK OFF FROM KFSK (FT. SCOTT) AND FLEW TO K59 (ATCHISON, KS). UPON LANDING WIND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFTS RIGHT WING TO SHIFT DOWNWARD CAUSING THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TO STRIKE THE RUNWAY EXCESSIVELY, AND IN DOING SO CAUSED THE R/H MAIN GEAR TO SHEAR OFF.  WHEN THE GEAR SHEARED IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE R/H FLAP AND R/H PROPELLER.

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.
