Primary finding

Probable cause

The pilot in command's not maintaining directional control and the overload of the left main landing gear. A factor contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of experience in conventionally geared aircraft.

Investigator assessment

Analysis narrative

While landing on runway 34 the conventionally geared aircraft began to oscillate from left to right. The pilot in command was unable to maintain directional control and as the oscillation increased in severity, the left main landing gear collapsed due to side loading. The pilot reported to the investigator that he had minimal time in conventionally geared aircraft.
