Flight Details
The pilot was conducting a cross-country business flight. Upon arrival, the pilot initiated a straight-in approach after observing wind conditions using a flag, which was described as 'limp.' The approach was made with full flaps at an indicated airspeed of 60 knots.
Sequence of Events
Touchdown occurred at 50 knots. After a short ground roll, the pilot reported that the aircraft 'floated off the runway.' The pilot then added a small amount of power to cushion the next touchdown. Subsequently, the aircraft drifted off the left side of the runway in a wings-level attitude. At that point, the pilot initiated a go-around by applying full power. The pilot began a shallow right turn to move back over the runway. However, the aircraft continued to bank to the right until impact with the ground, despite the pilot applying full control input in the opposite direction.
Post-Accident Examination
Examination of the wreckage did not reveal any problem with the control system.
