Contributing factors included the pilot's inadequate in-flight decision making and the high velocity, gusty winds. |
| Jun 24, 2005 | Hermiston, OR | N333DD | Incident | substantial |
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff ground roll which resulted in overload damage to the main landing gear. During…The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the takeoff ground roll which resulted in overload damage to the main landing gear. During the landing roll, it was not possible to maintain aircraft control due to the previously damaged gear. Encounter with rough terrain during the takeoff ground roll, and an overloaded and subsequently collapsed main landing gear were factors. |
