Incident Overview
During the landing roll, the pilot reported losing directional control of the airplane. The airplane veered left of the runway centerline. The pilot stated that the left rudder was stuck in a fully deflected position and that attempts to add right rudder were unsuccessful.
Sequence of Events
After the loss of directional control, the pilot applied full power. However, before becoming airborne, the airplane departed the runway surface. It subsequently crossed a grass divider and a taxiway before entering a ramp area. On the ramp, the airplane collided with an unoccupied Cessna 172.
Post-Incident Examination
Following the incident, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors examined the airplane. The examination revealed no evidence of a malfunction that could explain the reported rudder issue.
