Anomaly | Ground Event / Encounter Loss Of Aircraft Control Ground Excursion Runway |
Narrative:
After touchdown the aircraft bounced once about a foot and settled back to the runway with the right main gear touching first; followed by the left main gear about 2 seconds later; then nose wheel. The aircraft was heading to the left side of the runway and this point I over corrected to the right which caused the aircraft to veer to the right and go off the right edge of the 30 feet wide runway. The aircraft traveled approximately 100 feet and I corrected back onto the runway with the aircraft under control. I slowed the aircraft and taxied to the end of the runway; back taxied to the turnoff normally. The edges of the runway have a gravel strip about 2 ft wide and then mowed grass. The runway itself is asphalt. There are no runway lights at this airport. There was no damage of any kind to the aircraft or the runway.to the best of my recollection my approach speed was around 75 knots with 30 degree flaps. Touchdown was just past the numbers on center line. Wind was reported just prior to landing as 160 at 8 knots.my conclusion to this incident was excessive speed on landing and failure to control the aircraft on roll out. Contributing to it possibly was the fact this was the 4th landing I had ever made in this aircraft which we had recently purchased. Each preceding landing; the control of the aircraft on roll out seemed to be degrading. An inspection of the steerable nose gear has been scheduled. Also to the best of my knowledge; my feet were not on the brakes during the roll out.
