Probable cause
A loss of directional control on landing for undetermined reasons.
Findings · 2
NTSB’s coded findings. Those marked are part of the probable cause; the rest are factors or other findings. Under each, the cases with the same finding.
Sequence of events
The events NTSB coded, in order, by phase of flight. The defining event is the one that best describes the accident. Under each, the cases with the same event anywhere in their sequence.
Analysis
The pilot stated that he made a normal landing, but when he applied brakes to slow down, the airplane veered off the runway and impacted a precision approach path indicator light and two trees, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and fuselage. The landing gear collapsed, and the right main landing gear separated from the airplane. A post-accident examination of the right main landing gear, tire and brake assembly revealed no evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
