Analysis

The aircraft was equipped with a stol kit. The pilot stated that during a landing, the plane touched down at about 80 mph and veered slightly left when he reduced power. He compensated with right rudder and the right main wheel lifted off the surface. The pilot stated that he must have inadvertently applied the brakes and compounded the situation. Subsequently, the plane veer off the left side of the runway and collided with two parked aircraft, a Cessna 206, N29289 and a Piper PA-34, N3023Q. The pilot weighed 255 lbs and wore size 15 shoes.
