On December 5, 2017, about 1835 mountain standard time, a Piper PA-34-200T, N47536, was substantially damaged during a runway excursion after landing at Glendale Municipal Airport (GEU), Glendale, Arizona. The certified flight instructor (CFI) and a commercial pilot were not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by Angel Aviation Inc. under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.
Both pilots reported that during landing roll, the left wing dipped. Despite their control inputs, the airplane veered to the left side of the runway, collided with a runway sign, and came to a stop in a grassy area. During the landing sequence, the left main landing gear collapsed.
