Bay Bridge Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Stevensville, Maryland 21666
Monday, September 5, 2011 19:05 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot was cleared for a global positioning system approach to runway 29, which was damp/wet, although most of the approach was flown in visual meteorological conditions. He reported that he equally and moderately applied the brakes after touchdown but that the airplane pulled sharply to the left. He released the brakes and the airplane departed the left side of the runway and rolled onto wet grass with ineffective braking. The airplane then rolled into a swale, which partially collapsed the nose landing gear. No discrepancies of the brake system were noted by the pilot at the departure airport and a postaccident examination revealed no evidence of a preimpact failure or mechanical malfunction. There were no flat spots on either of the main landing gear tires and no leaks of the brake system were noted.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot did not maintain directional control during the landing roll.
