NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the pilot, after the airplane landed and was rolling out, he "came back" on the throttle, the engine "started to race," and the airplane veered to the right. The pilot attempted to control the airplane by applying the brakes and left rudder, but to no avail. The airplane then veered off the right side of the runway, through grass, then crossed a taxiway, then more grass, continued up an incline, and stopped when it struck a perimeter fence. One witness, a student pilot, saw the airplane land "hard" and bounce two to three times during the touchdown. A second witness, a certificated airline transport pilot, saw the airplane land "flat", with no flare, and bounce "at least three times" before veering off the runway. A subsequent examination of the airplane, which included control continuity checks, brakes, and flight and throttle controls, revealed no pre-impact mechanical anomalies. Weather, about the time of the accident, included clear skies and variable winds at 4 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing.
