Probable cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll.
NTSB analysis
The pilot reported that, after a normal approach and landing, the airplane became airborne again. The airplane drifted to the left and the pilot applied engine power and right rudder to correct for that drift; however, the airplane did not respond to his inputs. The airplane contacted a grass surface and turned sharply to the left, sustaining substantial left wing and aileron damage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
