Probable cause
The failure of the left main landing gear spring due to low cycle fatigue, resulting in the loss of control of the ground.
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 after touchdown on the left wheel, the left landing gear spring failed due to fatigue. The airplane spun to the rt, travelled off the rt side of the rwy, then the rt landing gear spring failed due to overload. The airplane then spun to the left & came to rest.
