What happened
Upon completing the landing phase at Hall Beach Airport, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of directional control. Following the initial touchdown on the runway, the vehicle veered off the paved surface. During this excursion, the aircraft's undercarriage was stripped from the airframe as it moved off the prepared surface.
The incident concluded when the movement ceased, leaving the plane in a stationary position off the runway. While the aircraft sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair, there were no injuries reported among the two pilots on board.
Findings
- The aircraft veered off the runway immediately after touchdown.
- The structural integrity of the landing gear was compromised during the excursion.
