| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he flew a visual approach with a left crosswind to a turf runway. As the airplane descended below a tree line, the wind decreased, and the airplane drifted left during the landing roll. The pilot applied right rudder, but the airplane did not respond. The airplane departed the left side of the runway and impacted multiple trees. Examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. After the accident, the pilot stated that he believed the passenger’s foot might have blocked the rudder pedals. The accident is consistent with a loss of directional control during a crosswind landing.
Probable Cause: A loss of directional control during a crosswind landing.
