On April 12, 2003, about 1630 eastern daylight time, a Maule M4, N4714T, was substantially damaged while landing at the Danielson Airport (5B3), Danielson, Connecticut. The certificated commercial pilot and a passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the flight that originated from the Riconn Airport, Greene, Rhode Island. The personal flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. In a written statement, the pilot said he was practicing landings to runway 31, a 2,700-foot-long, 75-foot-wide, asphalt runway. After touchdown, the airplane experienced a wind gust and yawed to the left. The pilot applied hard right brake; however, "it was not effective enough to bring it back." The airplane departed the left side of the runway, and the right wing struck the ground. The pilot did not report any pre-impact mechanical malfunctions. He reported about 1,930 hours of total flight experience, which include approximately 1,885 hours in single engine airplanes and 25 hours in the make and model of the accident airplane. Winds reported at an airport located about 15 miles west-southwest of 5B3, at 1552, were from 360 degrees at 11 knots.
