Human Factors; Procedure
I had been uncomfortable with the tires of the plane; they vibrate at takeoff and bounced off the runway and on landing. That day I wanted to check if my speed was the right one at the moment of landing so I was particularly aware of my approach speed which was 70 KTS with full flaps. Wind was blowing 090 at 5 KTS which I remember very well because I asked for wind check on final approach to evaluate the chance of wind correction angle correction. The wind was not strong enough for me taking a corrective action so the aircraft was wings leveled and aimed to the centerline of the runway. At the moment of touchdown and still with the nose gear in the air I saw the aircraft yawing to the left so I applied right rudder and unconsciously turned the control to the right. With that the left main gear raised off the ground skidding the airplane furthermore to the left throwing me off the runway and into the ground. Fortunately I didn't have any injury at all or any third party property damage except the airplane had suffered some damage due to skidding in on one wheel; the right wing hitting the ground and the prop strike on the ground when we went off the runway.
A C206 pilot made a rudder input counter to a slight yaw during the landing flare and inappropriately also made an aileron input which caused the aircraft to skid off the runway striking a wingtip and the propeller.
