Probable cause
The pilot's improper use of the aileron and rudder controls and inadequate compensation for the wind conditions during a crosswind landing resulting in a loss of directional control.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The airplane veered off the runway and collided with trees on landing. The pilot was making a crosswind landing. The pilot stated that upon touchdown, the airplane started to veer to the left, and she did not apply enough right rudder and aileron. The airplane continued to veer to the left and she lost directional control of the airplane. The airplane went off the left side of the runway into the grass and collided with some trees and brush.
Factual narrative
The pilot was making a crosswind landing. The pilot stated upon touchdown, the airplane started to veer to the left, and "she did not apply enough right rudder and aileron. The airplane continued to veer to the left and she lost directional control of the airplane. The airplane went off the left side of the runway into the grass and collided with some trees and brush."
