What happened
During the landing phase, a smooth touchdown was achieved; however, the aircraft began to veer to the right during the landing roll. The pilot attempted to correct the deviation using left rudder and braking, but these efforts were unsuccessful. The aircraft subsequently exited the runway and contacted terrain characterized by several inches of standing water.
The impact with the soft terrain caused the aircraft to nose over, resulting in substantial damage to the airplane. The pilot was not injured during the event.
Findings
- The pilot could not confirm if the brake was applied or if a brake lockup occurred during the excursion.
- There were no reported mechanical problems with the aircraft prior to the incident.
