NTSB narrative
The pilot was practicing takeoffs and landings; on the fourth landing roll, while at an airspeed of about 30 miles per hour, the airplane veered to the left. The airplane departed the runway surface at a 90-degree angle, and the right wing sustained substantial damage when it contacted the terrain. The airplane made a 360-degree turn in the grass before it returned to the runway. The pilot reported the airplane had a tendency to swerve on the ground, especially on hot days with little to no wind. The wind at the time of the accident was reported as calm. The pilot reported that there was no mechanical failure or malfunction of the airplane that would have resulted in the loss of control.
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll.

Source notes (4)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, coordinates. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
