| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that the airplane began to pull to the left shortly after touchdown. He applied corrective control inputs, but the airplane continued to veer left and departed the runway, and the main landing gear collapsed.
Examination did not reveal any anomalies with the steering system that would have precluded normal operation, and all appropriate service bulletins had been complied with. The nose gear actuator had detached at an area on the airframe that was prone to fatigue failure; however, examination of the actuator assembly revealed that it had detached during an overload event, likely from the impact as the airplane departed the runway.
Probable Cause: Loss of directional control during the landing roll for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information.
