Read the full NTSB narrative

According to information provided by the Federal Aviation Administration, the private pilot was conducting touch-and-go takeoffs and landings when the airplane became uncontrollable during the landing roll and departed the side of the runway. Due to the airplane's position, the landing gear could not be examined on scene. After recovery to the owner's hangar, and without coordination from the investigator-in-charge, the airplane was sold for salvage before an examination could be conducted; therefore, the reason of the loss of directional control could not be determined.
