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
During landing the acft started drifting off right side of rwy. Plt stated he used left rudder and brake but was unable to control the drift. The acft stopped after the nose gear collided with a ditch and collapsed. FAA maintenance personnel instructed plt to contact them when the acft was moved to a repair facility so they could examine the recently overhauled nose gear assembly for proper operation or other problems which might have caused or contributed to the accident. The acft was repaired and returned to service without the notification.
