Aircraft involved
Probable cause & findings
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a ditch.
Factual narrative
The biplane pilot reported that, during the landing roll, the airplane veered right, exited the runway to the right, and the left-wing tip impacted a ditch. The biplane sustained substantial damage to the left, lower wing spar. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
