Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT STATED THAT HE FAILED TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING LANDING IN A CROSSWIND. HE FURTHER STATED THAT HE AGGRAVATED THE LOSS OF CONTROL BY OVER-APPLICATION OF THE CONTROLS AND ADDING FULL THROTTLE WHICH LED TO THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTING THE RWY AND COLLIDING WITH A FENCE. HE STATED THAT THE CHECK PLT WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BECAUSE OF PLT CONTROL INPUTS AND THE CHECK PLT NOT HAVING BRAKES ON HIS SIDE.
