Aircraft Veers During Landing, Collides with Rocks (N7244E)

Event Sequence

During the landing roll, the aircraft deviated to the right side of the runway. In an attempt to correct the deviation, the pilot applied full engine power and left rudder input. However, before directional control could be regained, the landing gear made contact with large rocks located on the right side of the runway surface. The impact resulted in the collapse of both the right main landing gear and the nose landing gear.

Investigation Findings

Examination of the aircraft and its systems revealed no evidence of any pre-existing mechanical failure that could have contributed to the veering or loss of control. The investigation focused on the sequence of events as described, but no specific cause for the initial veering was determined beyond the available factual account.
