Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Woodland, California 95695
Sunday, February 19, 2012 11:20 PST
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The pilot reported that he made a normal three-point landing on runway 36 with the wind from 300 degrees at 5 knots. During the landing roll, he lost directional control of the airplane, and it veered off the runway and came to rest in a drainage ditch. The pilot reported that no mechanical malfunction or failure with the airplane precipitated the accident. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that two outboard wing ribs, a right elevator tube, and a fuselage frame component (yoke fitting) were bent.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot did not maintain directional control during landing.
