Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Golovin, Alaska 99762
Monday, August 21, 2000 18:30 AKD

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The certificated private pilot was landing on runway 02, which required a correction for a left crosswind. During the landing roll, a strong gust of wind pushed the airplane to the right. The airplane continued off the right side of the 4,000 feet long by 75 feet wide runway, rolled down an embankment, and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, wings, and empennage.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions. A factor associated with the accident was a crosswind.
