An examination of the airplane systems revealed no anomalies. The inspector reported that the runway surface and shoulder were "very soft."
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll resulting in a departure from the runway environment. Contributing to the accident was the soft runway surface.
