Factual narrative

THE PILOT HAD TROUBLE WITH MAINTAINING HEADING DURING THE ENTIRE FLIGHT DUE TO MALFUNCTION OF THE RUDDER TRIM. DURING LANDING, DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST AND THE ACFT LEFT THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH TREES. AN INSPECTION OF THE RUDDER SYS REVEALED EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE (.05% INCH) BETWEEN THE HORIZONTAL DRIVE SPROCHET THE REAR VERTICAL DRIVE SPROCHET. WITH THIS PROBLEM, THE PLT COULD NOT RETURN THE RUDDER TRIM TO NEUTRAL. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
