Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
During a landing on a 30 foot wide private airstrip, the aircraft bounced back into the air after contacting the runway surface. While it was airborne, the pilot failed to maintain directional control to an extent that would ensure that the aircraft remained within the lateral boundaries of the runway surface during the second touchdown. When the aircraft touched down the second time, the left main gear was off the runway. Soon after the second touchdown, the left main wheel impacted a rock that was just off the left side of the runway surface. The collision with the rock resulted in the left main gear leg collapsing and the left wing impacted the terrain.

Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control. A factor was a rock just off the edge of the runway surface.
