## Probable cause

FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, WHICH RESULTED IN AN INADVERTENT GROUND SWERVE.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - ground loop/swerve - inadvertent, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with object, landing - aborted

## Analysis

THE PLT RPRTD THAT AFTER A BOUNCED LANDING AT NIGHT, THE ACFT WENT OFF THE RGT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. SHE APPLIED POWER FOR A GO-AROUND. A WITNESS RPRTD THE ACFT 'STAGGERED' INTO THE AIR. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT HIT A BALE OF HAY, APRX 150 FT TO THE RGT OF THE RUNWAY & WAS DAMAGED. THE PLT RPRTD THAT SHE BELIEVED THE RGT BRAKE HAD SEIZED. HOWEVER, AN OPERATIONAL CHECK & DISASSEMBLY OF THE BRAKE REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF A MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE.
