A CIRRUS (SR22) PLT PORPOSIED JUST SHORT OF RWY 36 AT 0TX1; WHICH RESULTED IN A GEAR COLLAPSE DURING THE SUBSEQUENT LNDG.

Narrative

INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE LNDG AT HOME BASE ARPT; PECAN PLANTATION (0TX1); RWY 36. WINDS WERE LIGHT AND VARIABLE; OCCASIONALLY DIRECT XWIND TO RWY. RWY 36 HAS A SLIGHT UPWARD SLOPE. SET UP FINAL APCH AT 80 KTS FOR RWY 36. JUST PRIOR TO REACHING APCH END OF THE RWY; I FELT SINK; AND I REACTIVELY PULLED BACK ON THE STICK AND TOUCHDOWN OCCURRED IN FRONT OF THE RWY ON THE GRASS OVERRUN. TOUCHDOWN WAS RATHER ABRUPT AND CAUSED BOUNCE. UPON BOUNCED TOUCHDOWN; I APPLIED POWER AND MADE A GO-AROUND AND SET UP FOR ANOTHER APCH. UPON ROLLOUT OF SECOND LNDG; I NOTICED THE L BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING (PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED AND NO BRAKING ACTION). UPON REALIZING I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP ON RWY; I PROCEEDED TO GO AROUND AGAIN. ON THIRD APCH; REALIZING I WOULD NOT HAVE A L BRAKE; I ATTEMPTED TO LAND AT THE LOWEST SPD POSSIBLE AT TOUCHDOWN. LNDG AT MIN SPD; THE ACFT CONTINUED TO ROLL OFF THE RWY ONTO THE OVERRUN ON THE N END OF RWY 36 (ATTEMPTING TO APPLY AS MUCH BRAKE AS POSSIBLE). AS THE AIRPLANE SLOWED DOWN TO TAXI SPD; THE ACFT STARTED VEERING L AND THE AIRPLANE SETTLED TO A STOP ON THE L WING (THE L MAIN GEAR HAD COLLAPSED). THE LNDG GEAR DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY THE IMPACT OF THE LNDG GEAR ONTO THE RAISED RWY (AN ABRUPT LEDGE 6 TO 8 INCHES HIGH). THIS IMPACT REMOVED THE L WHEEL PANT AND APPARENTLY DISABLED THE L BRAKE. INSPECTED THE APCH END OF RWY 36 AND SAW GEAR TRACKS BEFORE RWY AND MARKS OF IMPACT ON ABRUPT EDGE OF BEGINNING OF ASPHALT RWY. AN ARPT LNDG LIGHT WAS STRUCK AND HAD A BROKEN LENS; BUT BULB INTACT. L MAIN WHEEL PANT PARTS WERE FOUND ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF RWY 36. A SMOOTH TRANSITION FROM GRASS OVERRUN TO ASPHALT RWY WOULD HAVE PREVENTED A LARGE AFT LOAD ON THE MAIN GEAR FROM OCCURRING. ALL APCHS WERE MADE WITH FULL FLAPS.
