Incident Summary
At the end of a pleasure cross-country flight, the pilot reported that upon landing, the aircraft veered to the left. The pilot corrected to the right. The aircraft then veered to the left again, and the pilot again corrected to the right. Subsequently, the aircraft began to turn in a clockwise direction, at which point the left main gear collapsed.
Damage Assessment
Inspection of the landing site and aircraft revealed that the left main gear had collapsed inward. The right main gear had separated from its trunnion fitting and was pulled out toward the right wing tip. Additionally, the nose gear was bent sideways to the right, indicating that lateral stresses were exerted on it during the event.
Inspection Findings
Traceable signatures left by both main tires were present on the runway, confirming that the aircraft was on the ground during the occurrence.
