Aircraft involved
Factual narrative
On July 21, 2025, about 1856 central daylight time, a Ravin 500 airplane, C-GPDZ, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. According to the pilot, he landed on runway 9, and the airplane was decelerating when the left main landing gear collapsed. The left wing and the left horizontal stabilizer struck the ground during the collapse, and the airplane came to rest on the north side of runway 9. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and the fuselage. The airplane was retained for further examination.
