Incident Overview
During a landing attempt, the airplane experienced a directional control issue that led to a runway excursion. The pilot reported crossing the runway threshold at a speed of 70 knots and touching down between the runway numbers and the designated touchdown point. Immediately after applying the brakes, the airplane began to veer slightly to the right.
Pilot Actions
In response to the veer, the pilot applied left brake and left rudder input. This corrective action momentarily returned the airplane to its intended path. However, the airplane soon veered sharply to the right again, departing the runway surface and colliding with a dirt embankment.
Damage Assessment
Post-incident inspection revealed substantial damage to the wing spar and the collapse of the nose gear. The extent of other damage was not specified in the report.
Conclusion
The accident sequence involved a loss of directional control during the landing roll, resulting in a collision with terrain. No contributing factors or causal explanations beyond the pilot's account were provided in the source material.
