A Piper PA-31-350 airplane, N621PG, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Page, Arizona. The two commercial pilots were not injured.
According to the pilot, during the landing roll, the airplane veered to the right and he was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane subsequently exited the runway and the nose landing gear collapsed.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the nose steering/centering mechanism had fractured and separated from the nose wheel assembly, resulting in a misalignment when the gear was extended.
Probable Cause and Findings
The failure of the airplane’s nose wheel steering/centering mechanism, which resulted in a loss of directional control and subsequent runway excursion.
