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 lost directional control during landing roll. As the aircraft drifted left of the runway, power was added for a go-around but the aircraft was left of the rwy. The left wing strut hit the wing of a Cessna 150 in an attempt to avoid colliding with the hangar, the aircraft struck the wing of a Piper 140 aircraft before coming to a stop.
