Probable cause
Pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
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 rollout after the right wing lifted. During his attempt to regain control, the right landing gear collapsed, folding under the fuselage, and the right wing sustained substantial damage.
