Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain the runway centerline and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over.
Findings · 3
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 reported that the airplane touched down on the left side of the runway centerline. During the landing roll, he applied right rudder to steer the airplane back to the runway centerline, but he lost directional control, and the airplane exited the right side of the runway. The main landing gear encountered wet dirt on the right side of the runway, and the airplane subsequently nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and the right-wing lift strut. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
