NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On October 26, 2014, about 0830 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna TU206G, N4776U, veered of the runway and collided with a ditch at a private airfield in Monument, Oregon. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The commercial pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage. The local personal flight departed from Monument Municipal Airport, Monument, Oregon about 0815 with a planned destination of the airfield that the accident occurred. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and the pilot had not filed a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan.
The pilot stated that the airplane touched down on the gravel runway at a slow groundspeed. Immediately thereafter, the airplane began to veer to the right. The pilot used both the brakes and aileron inputs in an effort to return to the runway center. Despite the pilot's attempts to regain directional control, the airplane continued off the right side of the runway and collided into a ditch. The airplane came to rest inverted incurring damage to the wings and tail section.
The pilot further stated that the loss of directional control was precipitated by a landing gear malfunction. He opined that a brake likely seized after touchdown.
