Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that during the landing roll, the airplane “pulled hard right.” He added engine power “to try to get some rudder control” and the airplane veered across the runway to the left. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and impacted airport equipment, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing runway 29, with wind from 310° at 14 knots, gusting to 21 knots.
