Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Brooksville, Florida 34064
Thursday, April 28, 2005 14:30 EDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The pilot-in-command stated that she was practicing instrument approaches to runway 09 with a safety pilot. When the airplane approached an indicated altitude of about 700 feet, she removed the view-limiting device to transition from an instrument to a visual approach for the touch-and-go. Upon landing the pilot-in-command pushed the propeller lever forward and applied full engine power. The airplane veered off the left side of the runway onto grass terrain incurring substantial damage. An A&P mechanic inspected the airplane after the accident and found no discrepancies with the airplane's steering systems, the flight controls operated normally, and the brake system functioned properly.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot-in-command failure to maintain directional control during takeoff after landing, which resulted in the airplane exiting the runway.
