NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The airplane veered off the runway and collided with an unoccupied parked airplane following the pilot's loss of directional control during the landing rollout. The pilot's approach to the airport was normal, and the airplane touched down without mishap near the centerline of runway 18. The wind was from 180 degrees, at 8 knots. The pilot said the airplane swerved left after he applied brakes and he could not regain control. Left and right tire skid marks were observed on the tarmac leading from the runway to the accident airplane. No evidence was found or any mechanical malfunction with the airplane's brakes, wheels, or tires.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout.
