THE PILOT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS ON RUNWAY 24. HE HAD COMPLETED ONE LANDING SUCCESSFULLY AND WAS ON HIS SECOND APPROACH FOR A FULL STOP LANDING. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE AIRPLANE VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY ONTO A GRASSY AREA AT A LARGE ANGLE. HE STATED THAT HE QUICKLY APPLIED POWER; HOWEVER, DUE TO INSUFFICIENT ALTITUDE, THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH TREES, THEN FELL TO THE GROUND. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND THAT THE BRAKES LOCKED ON ONE SIDE; HOWEVER, AN EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE'S BRAKES, TIRES, AND WHEELS BY THE FAA DID NOT DISCLOSE EVIDENCE OF ANY MALFUNCTION.
Probable Cause: FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING THE LANDING, WHICH RESULTED IN A GROUND SWERVE, AND HIS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE AND OR ALTITUDE FROM THE TREES. THE PROXIMITY OF TREES WAS A RELATED FACTOR.
