Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During the landing roll, the airplane began to veer to the right. The pilot applied hard left rudder for a few seconds, then the left main tire came off the rim. Subsequently, the left gear collapsed and the airplane came to rest partly off the runway.
