## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY. (.4)THE PILOT WAS RETURNING FROM A SKYDIVING DROP WHEN HE ENTERED THE AIRPORT TRAFFIC PATTERN, EXPERIENCED AN INFLIGHT LOSS OF CONTROL, AND THEN STRUCK TREES SHORT OF THE RUNWAY.  ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, JUST BEFORE TURNING TO FINAL, HE 'HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A STONE HITTING THE SIDE OF AN AUTOMOBILE.'  THE AIRPLANE ROLLED LEFT DESPITE CORRECTIVE AILERON CONTROL INPUT BY THE PILOT.  THE PILOT DID A GO-AROUND; HOWEVER, THE UNCOMMANDED LEFT ROLL CONTINUED.  THE AIRCRAFT PROCEEDED THROUGH ABOUT 180 DEGREE OF TURN BEFORE THE AIRSPEED DECREASED, THE AIRCRAFT PITCHED DOWN, AND A COLLISION WITH TREES OCCURRED.  EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE REVEALED THE AILERON CABLE HAD FRACTURED.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
