On July 25, 2017, about 1310 Pacific daylight time, a Lake LA-4, N7628L, was substantially damaged after veering off the runway during landing at the Byron Airport, Byron, California. The airplane was registered to Aerial Surveys Inc., and operated by the pilot as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 local personal flight. The private pilot and passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed. The flight originated from Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK), Livermore, California at an unknown time.
The pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector that during landing, the nose landing gear collapsed forward and the airplane veered right off the runway, collapsing the right main landing gear.
A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed wrinkling of the right wing upper surface and damage to the keel.
The wreckage was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
