THE PILOT PERFORMED A WHEEL LANDING, THEN ALLOWED THE TAIL TO COME DOWN AS SPEED BLED OFF DURING ROLLOUT. HE STATED THAT WHEN THE TAIL WHEEL MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY, TAIL WHEEL STEERING APPEARED TO BE NORMAL, AND HE USED IT TO MAINTAIN HIS POSITION ON THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY. THE TOWER ISSUED TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AND, ABOUT THAT TIME, THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND HE WAS UNABLE TO CORRECT WITH RIGHT RUDDER AND RIGHT BRAKE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TURNING, SKIDDED SIDEWAYS, AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, ALLOWING THE WING TO STRIKE THE SURFACE.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT.
