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 the landing roll, the pilot reported that the airplane began to veer to the left. The pilot applied hard right brake; however, the airplane continued to travel to the left and off the runway. A controller on duty at the time of the accident reported that the airplane ballooned prior to veering to the left. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane prior to the accident.
