Incident Overview
A pilot reported a landing incident involving a tail wheel equipped airplane. After touchdown on the runway, the airplane began to veer to the left. The pilot applied right rudder control and right brake action but was unable to keep the airplane on the runway surface.
Event Sequence
The airplane departed the side of the runway and subsequently impacted a building. The impact resulted in wrinkling and bending of the left wing and the left elevator. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Aircraft and Damage
The airplane was a tail wheel type, as described by the pilot. No specific aircraft model, registration, operator, or location were provided in the report. The damage was limited to the left wing and left elevator, which sustained structural deformation from the building impact.
Pilot Actions
According to the pilot, immediate corrective inputs of right rudder and right brake were applied after the left veer began. Despite these actions, the airplane could not be kept on the runway. The pilot did not report any issues with the airplane's systems or controls prior to the incident.
