## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT LANDED NORMAL IN THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY. AFTER ROLLING OUT, DURING THE LANDING, PILOT STATED HE FELT HE WAS GOING A LITTLE SLOW, SO HE APPLIED ADDITIONAL THROTTLE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SURGE. PILOT STATED HE DID NOT NOTICE ANY INDICATIONS. PILOT PULLED BACK THE THROTTLE AT THIS POINT AND SHUTDOWN, THEN SECURED THE ENGINE. PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES FAIRLY HARD AND FELT THE AIRCRAFT PULLING TO THE RIGHT. PILOT READJUSTED HIS BRAKE PRESSURE AND APPLIED PRESSURE EVEN HARDER. PILOT DEPARTED RUNWAY TO THE RAMP AND STRUCK A BUILDING. (.4)DURING THE LANDING ROLL, AT THE COMPLETION OF A LOCAL AREA PERSONAL FLIGHT, THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A HANGAR. THE AIRCRAFT ROTATED ONTO A WING TIP, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, AND THEN THE AIRCRAFT CAME DOWN ON THE OTHER WING TIP. THE PILOT, WHO HAD 6 HOURS IN TYPE, SAID THE RIGHT BRAKE GRABBED. AN FAA AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR EXAMINED THE AIRCRAFT AND AIRCRAFT LOGS. THE INSPECTOR FOUND NO SYSTEM FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, BUT DID FIND THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS OUT OF ANNUAL INSPECTION. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, THE WIND WAS CALM, WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
