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
During landing roll the aircraft departed the runway to the right despite the pilots attempt to correct with left rudder. The acft struck a ditch and the nose gear separated from the acft. During acft repair the mechanic found the right master cylinder was sticking causing the nose gear to cock to the right.
