ACCORDING TO THE PILOT OWNER, "I WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 05 WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A RIGHT CROSSWIND. I DIDN'T FULLY CORRECT, RAN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, AND STRUCK A PARKED AIRCRAFT. I HAD A PASSENGER WITH ME, AND BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH PASSENGERS, I CARRIED A LITTLE EXTRA SPEED, AND THAT PROBABLY CONTRIBUTED." THE PILOT SAID THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL DEFICIENCIES WITH THE AIRPLANE. (-23) ON TOUCHDOWN, AIRCRAFT BEGAN SWERVING AND VEERED OFF RUNWAY TO THE LEFT AND IMPACTED PARKED AIRCRAFT.
