Incident Overview
An airplane experienced a right landing gear collapse while landing on a 49-foot wide asphalt runway, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft. The pilot reported that upon touchdown, the airplane immediately veered to the left. Despite applying full right rudder and brakes, the pilot was unable to regain control. The right wing subsequently made contact with the runway surface, leading to the collapse of the right landing gear. The airplane then departed the paved surface and came to rest off the side of the runway.
Pilot Account
According to the pilot, the landing was normal until the moment of touchdown, when the airplane unexpectedly turned left. The pilot's immediate corrective actions—full right rudder input and braking—were insufficient to counteract the veer. The pilot stated that the right wing struck the runway, causing the right landing gear to fail. The aircraft continued off the runway before stopping.
Damage Assessment
The accident investigation confirmed that the airplane sustained substantial damage as a result of the landing gear collapse and subsequent ground contact. No other details regarding the extent of damage or other components were provided in the source.
