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
While the plt was making his second landing, the acft began to rock back & forth during the roll-out. He added power to correct the oscillation, but said the power had the opposite effect. He lost directional control & the acft swerved off the left side of the rwy. The right main gear collapsed & the right wing & prop were damaged. The plt believed he released control pressure when the airspeed was too high, then over controlled with the rudder.
