| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot made a three point landing on a turf runway, heading south. The wind was from the west at 7 knots. After touchdown, the airplane drifted left. The pilot was unable to correct the left drift and added power for a rejected landing. The airplane drifted off the runway into rough terrain. The pilot closed the throttle and the airplane came to rest off the left side of the runway with the right main landing gear collapsed under the fuselage.
Probable Cause: failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane, while landing. The crosswind was a related factor.
