What happened
A commercial pilot was performing a landing at a remote tidal beach site. During the landing roll, the aircraft began to veer toward the left, moving toward the water. The pilot was unable to correct this directional deviation, which resulted in a ground loop to the left. During the maneuver, the right main landing gear leg collapsed and the right wing struck the surface of the beach. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to its right wing.
Due to the remote location, the aircraft was not recovered before being subjected to numerous tide cycles. Consequently, the aircraft underwent extensive damage prior to a post-accident inspection being completed.
