Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing rollout, and his delay is performing the proper remedial action of bringing back the left throttle to idle during landing rollout.
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
After touching down, the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and collided with four parked airplanes. The pilot stated that he applied left brake and rudder, but the airplane continued to veer to the right. Skid marks were found on the runway. The pilot also reported that the left engine 'may not have been completely at idle' during the landing rollout. No mechanical malfunctions were reported.
