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.
Loss of control - on ground/water
Directional control - not maintainedCause
Airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - rough/unevenFactor
On ground/water encounter with terrain/water
Airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - dirt bank/rising embankmentFactor
Analysis
Plt stated rough condition of runway surface made directional control difficult. The left wheel overran the runway edge which was bounded by a dirt ridge. Plt was unable to bring the left wheel back onto the prepared surface as ridge dimensions increase further down the runway eventually rising to meet underside of acft/landing gear struts.
