## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT RIGHT HAND LANDING GEAR BROKE AT ATTACHMENT POINT ON TOUCHDOWN SENDING AIRCRAFT OFF THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE RUNWAY WHERE THE GEAR MOUNT DUG INTO THE DIRT STOPPING THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RESTING ON TOP OF SAGE BRUSH. ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT FROM GEAR COLLAPSE WAS A SMALL HOLE IN FABRIC ON RH FUSELAGE. LANDING GEAR WHEEL AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY WAS NOT RECOVERED.

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.
