Incident Overview
At its home airport, a Boeing E75 was purposely landed in the grass adjacent to the runway. The airplane touched down hard, resulting in multiple structural failures: the left main landing gear strut separated from the airplane, the right main landing gear strut bent, the propeller struck the ground, and the lower left wing spar broke.
Occupants and Pilot Information
There were no injuries to the owner/pilot, who was flying the airplane from the rear cockpit, or his friend. According to the owner, the friend was acting as pilot-in-command because the owner's flight review was "expired."
Damage Summary
The aircraft sustained damage to both main landing gear struts, the propeller, and the lower left wing spar. Specific details about the extent of damage to other components were not provided in the source.
