NTSB narrative
THE AIRCRAFT COMPLETED AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH AND LANDED HARD ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE FIRST WITH THE LEFT GEAR THEN THE RIGHT GEAR. THE TIRES BURST AND THE LOWER FUSELAGE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY SURFACE. AFTER THE NOSE GEAR TOUCHED DOWN, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. IT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND DEPARTED THE RUNWAY, COMING TO REST APPROXIMATELY 150 TO 200 YARDS FROM THE POINT OF DEPARTURE. INITIAL TOUCH DOWN OCCURRED ABOUT 12 FEET FROM THE THRESHOLD, TEN FEET LEFT OF CENTERLINE.
Probable cause
THE FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER LANDING DESCENT RATE AND THE RESULTANT RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY COLLAPSE.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
