On 17 April 2019 at 1300 Central Standard Time, the pilot of a Cessna 210L aircraft was conducting a chartered passenger flight between Tindal and Hodgson Downs, Northern Territory.
Once established in the circuit area at Hodgson Downs, the landing gear was selected down as the aircraft manoeuvred to land. The pilot confirmed that the gear was down by visually checking the undercarriage was extending, hearing that the gear pump had stopped and identifying three green lights indicating gear down. The pilot continued the approach and completed the pre-landing checks, which included checking the landing gear again on final.
The landing roll felt normal until the aircraft slowed and more weight was applied to the landing gear, at which point the aircraft began to yaw to the right. The yaw was countered with rudder input, however the aircraft continued to yaw right and veered off the runway, coming to rest inside the flight strip.
Once the aircraft was shut down and secured, the pilot evacuated the passengers safely. No one was injured, however the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
