During the landing rollout, the airplane departed the runway laterally and impacted a ditch 75 to 100 feet off the side of the runway. The pilot stated that, after a minor directional correction to the right, the aircraft would not respond to left steering inputs until full rudder was applied. At that time the aircraft entered an abrupt swerve to the left and departed the runway. The aircraft was damaged to the extent that it was not possible to conduct a high speed taxi test to evaluate aircraft response to nosewheel steering commands.
Probable Cause: The malfunction of the nose wheel steering for undetermined reasons.
