| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that during landing the airplane veered off to the left and the left wing started to lower towards the runway; he added power to increase effectiveness of the rudder to try to straighten out. The airplane straightened out and ran into a ditch. The pilot stated there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident. A witness stated the airplane landed and had a small bounce; both wheels were on the ground when it looked as if the wind picked up the left wing. The airplane came back down but sideways and spun in a circle. It then headed down into a ditch and came out the other side becoming briefly airborne before impacting the grass in a nose down attitude and spinning around.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, and his failure to maintain directional control during landing resulting in the airplane departing the runway and colliding with a ditch.
