The defining event best describes what happened. - [Landing-landing roll: Loss of control on ground](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/230) (defining event); cases with it: [Piper PA-30, 14 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/230/sequence.md?model=7103002), [All aircraft, 4,585 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/230/sequence.md) ## Analysis The pilot stated that he made a normal landing, but when he applied brakes to slow down, the airplane veered off the runway and impacted a precision approach path indicator light and two trees, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and fuselage. The landing gear collapsed, and the right main landing gear separated from the airplane. A post-accident examination of the right main landing gear, tire and brake assembly revealed no evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N8822Y](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N8822Y-2022-01-24), registration cancelled 2022-01-24, S/N 30-1980, built 1969 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: PIPER PA-30 - Registry model: [Piper PA-30](https://openairdocs.org/model/piper-pa-30) (registry code 7103002) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming IO-320 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-io-320-series) (registry code 41509, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 30-1980 - Year built: 1969 - Airframe hours: 5593 - Engines: Lycoming IO-320-B1A 160 hp reciprocating; Lycoming IO-320-B1A 160 hp reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: DBL L Investments - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, August 6, 2021 - Departed: TBR, Statesboro, GA - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: FA40, Hidden Lake, runway 05/23, 4,425 × 50 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Satellite tracking device, Onboard weather, Electronic primary flight display, Electronic multifunction display, Electronic flight bag or handheld device, Auto-pilot, ADS-B, Stall warning system ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
