NTSB Factual Report

During a telephone interview with a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, the pilot reported that while on final approach to the destination airport he noted that the airplane was configured about 20 knots too fast. He further noted that he overcorrected for an 8- to 10-knot crosswind with the addition of too much rudder deflection. After touchdown, the airplane veered off the right side of the runway, collapsing the nose landing gear and substantially damaging the fuselage undercarriage. The pilot stated that there were no pre impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine.

To date, the pilot has failed to submit the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2), nor has he responded to numerous follow-up attempts by investigators to provide a written statement.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's unstabilized approach and failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a veer off the runway.
