Primary finding

Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.

Investigator assessment

Analysis narrative

The pilot reported that during the landing roll his feet become entangled in the rudder pedals and he inadvertently applied brake pressure. The airplane veered left and the pilot unsuccessfully attempted to regain directional control with opposite rudder and increased engine power. Airport surveillance cameras recorded the airplane depart the runway surface, bounce, and impact a hangar, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot did not return the National Transportation Safety Board 6120.1/2 form.
