Probable cause
Improper installation of the right main wheel assembly.
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 had just landed on runway 22 and was rolling out when the right tire began to wobble. The airplane veered to the right and then to the left before departing the left side of the runway and nosing over. Examination of the landing gear revealed the wheel assembly had been improperly installed and that several parts were missing.
