## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING LANDING ROLLOUT.  A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT INCLUDE A DITCH.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - ditch (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE AIRPLANE VEERED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUWNAY DURING LANDING ROLLOUT AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH.  HE STATED THAT HE APPLIED LEFT RUDDER AND BRAKE 'TO NO AVAIL'.  AN INSPECTION OF THE AIRPLANE DID NOT REVEAL ANY MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS.
