Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot-in-command stated that she was practicing instrument approaches to runway 09 with a safety pilot. When the airplane approached an indicated altitude of about 700 feet, she removed the view-limiting device to transition from an instrument to a visual approach for the touch-and-go. Upon landing the pilot-in-command pushed the propeller lever forward and applied full engine power. The airplane veered off the left side of the runway onto grass terrain incurring substantial damage. An A&P mechanic inspected the airplane after the accident and found no discrepancies with the airplane's steering systems, the flight controls operated normally, and the brake system functioned properly.
