Probable cause
The NTSB’s determination of the probable cause, and any contributing factors.
The right main gear collapsed for undetermined reasons, which resulted in the pilot's loss of directional control during the landing roll.
Analysis
During a daytime touch-and-go landing roll by the private pilot the right main gear collapsed resulting in the loss of directional control and the airplane veered off the runway, across the taxiway, and impacted the terrain. No discrepancies with the landing gear system operation were found at the time of the investigation.
