NTSB narrative
The pilot reported that immediately after touching down on the runway the airplane veered right. He attempted to correct with rudder application, but the airplane continued to veer to the right. He applied the left brake to help with the correction as the airplane continued to veer to the right of the runway. Before exiting off the side of the runway he applied pressure to both brake pedals. Despite his actions, the airplane exited the runway and onto the grass-covered runway safety area and continued to a parking area near hangars. The braking had little effect as the airplane traveled over the grass, and the pilot continued to apply the left brake and full left rudder to try to return to the runway. In a last effort to avoid the parking area, he again applied both brakes. Subsequently, the airplane impacted an unoccupied airplane and then a hangar door. The pilot reported that, following the accident, he examined the right brake caliper assembly and found it to be tight and secured. According to the pilot, he could not move the right wheel assembly on the axle. However, postaccident examination of the brakes by an FAA inspector revealed no anomalies and both brakes functioned normally. No pre-accident mechanical anomalies were found that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable cause
The pilot’s loss of directional control during the landing roll.

- 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, cause areas. 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.
