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 wind was light and variable during landing. Touchdown was uneventful, but during the landing roll the airplane veered to the right and the lower wing contacted the ground. The airplane departed the runway, and struck a runway edge light. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane.
Factual narrative
On May 7, 2000, about 1120 hours mountain standard time, a Fairchild KR-21, NC206V, sustained substantial damage when it veered off the runway at the Marana Northwest Regional Airport, Marana, Arizona. The owner operated the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The commercial pilot and a student pilot rated passenger were not injured. The personal cross-country flight departed Buckeye, Arizona, about 1000. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed.
The pilot stated he was landing on runway 12 and the winds were light and variable. Touchdown was uneventful, but during the landing roll the airplane veered to the right. The airplane departed the runway, and struck a runway edge light. The left wing contacted the ground damaging several ribs, the fabric, and the wing spar. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane.
