Narrative:
While flaring to land on runway 22 (3,188-foot by 60-foot runway), the pilot had difficulty seeing the runway due to sun glare. Upon touchdown the airplane started swerving to the left. The pilot corrected for the left swerve and started to apply the brakes. The airplane then started "skidding" to the right and departed the right side of the runway, before impacting a ditch. The airplane came to rest in an upright position.


Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. A contributing factor was the sun glare.
