Incident Details
During the second landing attempt, the aircraft began to oscillate (rock back and forth) while rolling out on the runway. The pilot added power in an attempt to correct the oscillation, but reported that the power application had the opposite effect, worsening the instability. Subsequently, directional control was lost, and the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway.
As the aircraft departed the paved surface, the right main landing gear collapsed. The right wing and propeller sustained damage as a result of the excursion.
Pilot Account
The pilot stated that he believed he released control pressure while the airspeed was still too high, leading to over-controlling with the rudder. This sequence of actions was cited as the likely cause of the loss of control.
