Accident Details
On July 13, 2017, at about 2015 mountain standard time, a Beech D55 twin-engine airplane, registration N1796A, was substantially damaged in an accident near Hailey, Idaho. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The flight was conducted under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that just before entering the landing flare, he realized that his engines were "not synced up" and the airplane began to drift to the right of the runway. Recognizing that the airspeed was getting too slow, the pilot increased power to the left engine and pitched the airplane's nose down. Subsequently, the airplane yawed to the right, and the right wingtip impacted the ground. The aircraft then struck the ground sideways, causing the landing gear to collapse. The airplane slid off the runway and came to rest upright.
Mechanical Status
The pilot stated that there were no mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident.
