Incident Overview
A pilot requested a full stop landing on the last quarter of a 10,000-foot runway. After touchdown, as braking was applied, the airplane veered off the left side of the runway. While skidding along the runway surface, the right landing gear collapsed.
Investigation Findings
The pilot reported no mechanical problems with the airplane prior to or during the landing. A subsequent examination of the aircraft also failed to disclose any mechanical issues. The investigation did not identify any preexisting defects or malfunctions that could have contributed to the runway excursion or gear collapse.
Conclusion
The incident involved a loss of directional control during braking, leading to a runway excursion and structural failure of the landing gear. The specific cause of the veer was not determined from the available information.
