| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot's touchdown and initial rollout were uneventful. The pilot reported that he had the airplane trimmed 'all the way back,' and he applied brakes. The airplane veered off the runway, collided with an airport sign, nosed over, and came to rest in a dirt clearing adjacent to the runway. The pilot indicated that during the landing he had 'over corrected' which resulted in his loss of control as the airplane drifted left. The surface wind was calm.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control, and excessive remedial action, which resulted in an inadvertent swerve off the runway.
