Camdenton Memorial Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Camdenton, Missouri 65020
Saturday, July 14, 2012 12:30 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that he was conducting takeoffs and landings and had completed three landings without incident. He stated that, after the airplane touched down on the fourth landing, it became airborne briefly. As it settled back down, it veered to the right and departed the runway pavement. The pilot-rated passenger reported that he was on the flight controls "following lightly" with the pilot during the accident landing. When the airplane began to roll to the right, the pilot assumed full control but was unable to avoid the runway excursion. The left main landing gear subsequently collapsed before the airplane came to rest in the grass area adjacent to the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot noted that a skid mark on the runway indicated that the right brake might have inadvertently been applied during the landing. He stated that there was no mechanical malfunction or failure associated with the airplane before the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's loss of directional control on landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
