## Probable cause

the pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane after landing.

## Sequence of events

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

- On ground/water collision with object, taxi - from landing
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - object - sign

## Analysis

According to the pilot, he applied too much right brake after landing on runway 12. The airplane departed the runway surface to the right and impacted a taxiway directional sign, resulting in substantial damage. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane systems and no weather issues.

## Factual narrative

According to a telephone conversation with the accident pilot, he applied too much right brake after landing on runway 12 (6,000 feet by 150 feet, grooved concrete). The airplane departed the runway surface to the right and impacted a taxiway directional sign. The Federal Aviation Administration inspector who traveled to the scene reported the cowling was wrinkled, the wheel pan separated, and the right landing gear strut was bent aft. The right wing strut was crushed aft and the wing and wing spar bent down slightly. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane systems and no weather issues.
