Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
New Orleans, Louisiana 70112
Tuesady, September 19, 2000 12:03 CDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
While on final approach, the flaps were positioned at 30 degrees for a full-stop landing on runway 18L. After initial touchdown, the pilot pulled the throttle back and the 'engine RPM [surged] up.' The airplane became airborne and drifted to the right of the runway. The pilot initiated a go-around. During the attempted go-around, the pilot added full power, and retracted the flaps to 10 degrees; however, the airplane did not climb. Subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground nose down and came to rest upright. The pilot reported that at the time of the accident, the wind was from 120 degrees at 10 knots.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot's failure to maintain control of the aircraft during an aborted landing. A factor was the crosswind.
