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 pilot stated that during the landing roll he lost directional control of the airplane and veered left of the runway centerline. The pilot stated that the left rudder was stuck in a fully deflected position and his attempt to add right rudder was unsuccessful. The pilot then applied full power but, before becoming airborne, the airplane went off the runway and crossed a grass divider and taxiway. The airplane then entered a ramp area where it collided with an unoccupied Cessna 172. Subsequent examination of the airplane by FAA inspectors revealed no evidence of a malfunction.
