Incident Overview
A pilot reported that while on approach, he entered a left downwind for runway 06. He extended the downwind leg because another aircraft was on a left base for the same runway. After turning final, the pilot performed several S-turns to wait for the other aircraft to clear the runway. Once the runway was clear, the pilot aligned with runway 06 and flared for landing. During the flare, the main landing gear struck the end of the pavement, causing the left main gear to shear off.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that after the other aircraft cleared the runway, he "lined up with the runway 06 and flared to land. My main landing gear struck the end of the pavement and sheared the left main gear." The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the aircraft prior to the accident.
