NTSB Prelim: Cessna A185

The Airplane's Right Main Landing Gear Impacted The Runway Surface Hard

Location: Susanville, CA Accident Number: WPR20CA275
Date & Time: 08/01/2020, 1200 PDT Registration: N60934
Aircraft: Cessna A185 Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Abnormal runway contact Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal

The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, the winds at the time of takeoff were about 17 mph from the east. After he departed a runway from the southeast, the airplane weathervaned into the wind and was pushed to the left side of the runway.

The pilot quickly corrected the movement, but in doing so the airplane's right main landing gear impacted the runway surface hard. Seconds later after he departed, the pilot flew low over the runway for ground observers to inspect the landing gear, but they reported no abnormalities.

The pilot returned to the departure runway, but shortly after landing, the right main landing gear separated. The right wing was substantially damaged.

The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies that could have precluded normal operation.
