What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot 1 stated:
The takeoff and pattern entry was smooth and on target as we entered final for runway 32. The plane was configured and on a stable approach for landing. I was calling out the airspeed for pilot 2 while on short final. The plane landed on the main landing gear and as the nose was coming down, I noticed we were directly on centerline. However, immediately after the nose touched down, the front end started to shake/wobble and the plane started to veer to the right. I instinctively pushed the left rudder pedal however the pedal was already full forward as pilot 2 had already made the input. The plane continued to veer to the right. The right main tire went off the pavement first and onto the grass followed by the front tire and then the left. The right wing touched the grass as the edge of the runway immediately slopes down and away from the pavement, meaning the plane was on a tilt to the right. After the right wing dragged along the grass edge, the right main tire and front tire abruptly stopped as both entered the mud.
The plane tilted down and to the right with the left wing hitting the ground. We came to rest with the plane at an approximate 45-degree angle nose down.
As the FAA filed it
PILOT 1 STATED:
THE TAKEOFF AND PATTERN ENTRY WAS SMOOTH AND ON TARGET AS WE ENTERED FINAL FOR RUNWAY 32. THE PLANE WAS CONFIGURED AND ON A STABLE APPROACH FOR LANDING. I WAS CALLING OUT THE AIRSPEED FOR PILOT 2 WHILE ON SHORT FINAL. THE PLANE LANDED ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR AND AS THE NOSE WAS COMING DOWN, I NOTICED WE WERE DIRECTLY ON CENTERLINE. HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE NOSE TOUCHED DOWN, THE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE/WOBBLE AND THE PLANE STARTED TO VEER TO THE RIGHT. I INSTINCTIVELY PUSHED THE LEFT RUDDER PEDAL HOWEVER THE PEDAL WAS ALREADY FULL FORWARD AS PILOT 2 HAD ALREADY MADE THE INPUT. THE PLANE CONTINUED TO VEER TO THE RIGHT. THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE WENT OFF THE PAVEMENT FIRST AND ONTO THE GRASS FOLLOWED BY THE FRONT TIRE AND THEN THE LEFT. THE RIGHT WING TOUCHED THE GRASS AS THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY IMMEDIATELY SLOPES DOWN AND AWAY FROM THE PAVEMENT, MEANING THE PLANE WAS ON A TILT TO THE RIGHT. AFTER THE RIGHT WING DRAGGED ALONG THE GRASS EDGE, THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE AND FRONT TIRE ABRUPTLY STOPPED AS BOTH ENTERED THE MUD.
THE PLANE TILTED DOWN AND TO THE RIGHT WITH THE LEFT WING HITTING THE GROUND. WE CAME TO REST WITH THE PLANE AT AN APPROXIMATE 45-DEGREE ANGLE NOSE DOWN.
