## Narrative

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

ON 15 SEPTEMBER 2024, PILOT LANDED HUSKY A-1 AT KTSO ON RUNWAY 25. HE STATED THAT HE THEN DEPARTED THE RUNWAY PRIOR TO THE TAXIWAY TO PARK THE AIRCRAFT IN THE GRASS. AIRCRAFT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP APPROXIMATELY 60 FEET INTO THE GRASS AFTER THE LEFT MAIN TIRE/STRUT ASSEMBLY SHEARED OFF.  THE AIRCRAFT'S FORWARD MOMENTUM CAUSED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT TO DIP WHICH RESULTED IN THE PROPELLER STRIKING THE GROUND. THE LEFT WINGTIP SUFFERED IMPACT DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE AIRCRAFT TILTING TO THE LEFT.
