Full Narrative
On February 22, 2021, about 1100 central standard time, a Piper PA46R-350T, N560CA, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident while landing at the Charles B Wheeler Downtown Airport, Kansas City, Missouri. The pilot and 4 passengers were not injured. The airplane was operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight.
The pilot reported he made a normal approach and landing on runway 19 and during the landing roll, the nose wheel “pulled” uncontrollably to the right. The pilot lost control of the airplane and it departed the right side of the runway. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing was substantially damaged.
Examination of the airplane did not reveal a reason for the loss of nose wheel directional control.
