On June 2, 2020, about 1930 mountain standard time, a Symphony Aircraft Industries, Inc. OMF-100-160 airplane, N225CK, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Glendale Municipal Airport (GEU), Glendale, Arizona. The airline transport pilot and pilot-rated passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that neither occupant observed any anomalies during their preflight inspection. They departed uneventfully and remained within the airport traffic pattern while they took turns performing touch and goes. After the pilot-rated passenger completed five normal landings, the pilot took the controls in the airport traffic pattern and configured the airplane for his approach. Following a normal touchdown, the pilot heard a loud thud and the airplane veered to the right. He applied left aileron and left rudder to return the airplane to the runway center. However, after the pilot subsequently applied brake pressure, the airplane rapidly departed the right runway edge, the right main landing gear collapsed, and the airplane came to rest. According to the occupants, none of their previous touchdowns were hard.
Preliminary photographs provided by the airport manager's office showed substantial damage to the right horizontal stabilizer. The right main landing gear separated at the gear leg root and several structural tubes had failed.
A section of the right main landing gear was retained for further examination.
