| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he was returning from a local flight over his ranch. During the landing flare about 30 feet above ground level, the airplane began a turn to the right, and he was unable to maintain control. The airplane impacted the ground, and a postimpact fire ensued. The pilot noted that he had no aileron control during the accident sequence. A postaccident examination confirmed flight control continuity from each control surface to the cockpit area; however, the cockpit control yoke was consumed by the postimpact fire. Therefore, a positive determination of flight control continuity at the time of the accident was not possible.
Probable Cause: An in-flight loss of control on final approach for undetermined reasons.
