| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot stated the landing flare and touchdown were normal. During landing rollout the aircraft began to drift to the left and he lost directional control. He stated he delayed correcting the left drift because he was retracting the wing flaps and that he also continued to hold aft control wheel pressure. The aircraft went off the left side of the runway, crossed over a taxiway in front of a taxing aircraft, and collided with a parked aircraft on the parking ramp.
Probable Cause: Failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control during landing resulting in the aircraft running off the left side of the runway and colliding with a parked aircraft. Factors in the accident were his distraction while raising wing flaps during landing roll which delayed correction of a left drift and his continued holding of aft control wheel forces during landing roll.
