Narrative:

The place: wonder valley airport east of fresno, ca. Small remote airport, 2300 ft, 40 ft wide, landing runway 30. Decelerating after landing, I maneuvered the airplane to the right side of the runway to make a left turn around to taxi back via runway 30. The right main caught the soft surface at the edge of runway and, when correction was applied, it did not help. The right main fell into a ditch approximately 2 ft from runway edge and rotated the airplane to the right pivoting around the right main. Side stressing the nose gear assembly -- bending it backward and approximately 30 degrees left from the perpendicular position of normal. The nose of the aircraft was put into the ditch. The soft surface restr the freedom of movement of the right main which was stopped by the ditch, therefore causing the airplane to rotate immediately into the ditch.

Title: AN ACR SMA ACFT RAN INTO THE DITCH.

Narrative: THE PLACE: WONDER VALLEY ARPT E OF FRESNO, CA. SMALL REMOTE ARPT, 2300 FT, 40 FT WIDE, LNDG RWY 30. DECELERATING AFTER LNDG, I MANEUVERED THE AIRPLANE TO THE R SIDE OF THE RWY TO MAKE A L TURN AROUND TO TAXI BACK VIA RWY 30. THE R MAIN CAUGHT THE SOFT SURFACE AT THE EDGE OF RWY AND, WHEN CORRECTION WAS APPLIED, IT DID NOT HELP. THE R MAIN FELL INTO A DITCH APPROX 2 FT FROM RWY EDGE AND ROTATED THE AIRPLANE TO THE R PIVOTING AROUND THE R MAIN. SIDE STRESSING THE NOSE GEAR ASSEMBLY -- BENDING IT BACKWARD AND APPROX 30 DEGS L FROM THE PERPENDICULAR POS OF NORMAL. THE NOSE OF THE ACFT WAS PUT INTO THE DITCH. THE SOFT SURFACE RESTR THE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT OF THE R MAIN WHICH WAS STOPPED BY THE DITCH, THEREFORE CAUSING THE AIRPLANE TO ROTATE IMMEDIATELY INTO THE DITCH.
