Probable cause
The pilot's improper use of the brakes. Contributing to this accident was the worn brake pedals.
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 was completing the fourth full stop landing. During the landing roll out the pilot's right foot slipped off the rudder pedal and became lodged between the pedals. The pilot was unable to extricate his foot from the pedals and the airplane veered to the left and collided with a hangar. The aircraft examination disclosed that both pilot side rudder pedals were extremely smooth and slippery.
