## Narrative

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

STATEMENT FROM PILOT:

I CROSSED OVER THE END OF THE RUNWAY  AND AS I WAS TOUCHING DOWN THE LEFT WING LIFTED. I APPLIED LEFT RUDDER AND AILERON INPUT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND THE PLANE VEERED HARD TO THE LEFT. MY RIGHT HAND WAS STILL ON THE THROTTLE, AND WHEN THE PLANE VEERED TO THE LEFT, I WAS FORCED FORWARD AND TO THE RIGHT IN MY SEAT. THIS MOVEMENT, WITH MY RIGHT HAND ON THE THROTTLE, CAUSED A MOMENTARY INPUT OF THROTTLE AS MY HAND MOVED FORWARD WITH THE REST OF MY BODY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED BACK ON THE THROTTLE BUT BY THIS TIME I WAS TRAVELING TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY AND THE PLANE WAS LEANING HARD TO THE RIGHT. THE RIGHT WING TIP DRAGGED THE SURFACE OF THE RUNWAY AND THEN THE PLANE LEFT THE RUNWAY SURFACE AND STOPPED VERY ABRUPTLY AS THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.

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.
