## Preliminary report

On September 13, 2025, about 1300 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna P210N airplane, N25WD, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Victorville, California. The pilot and flight instructor were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. The instructor reported that they planned to perform takeoffs and landings at Southern California Logistics Airport (VCV), Victorville, California. During the landing roll on runway 35, the main landing gear collapsed while the nose gear remained extended. The airplane veered right, and the left wingtip and left horizontal stabilizer contacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage to the horizontal stabilizer. The instructor stated that during the pre-landing check, he observed a green gear-down light and, via the right-wing mirror, confirmed that the main landing gear appeared down prior to touchdown. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
