Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Garrison, North Dakota 58540
Friday, March 31, 1989 13:00 CST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

THE STUDENT PILOT & INSTRUCTOR (CFI) WERE PRACTICING A SIMULATED EMERGENCY LANDING ON RWY 13 WITH THE STUDENT OPERATING THE CONTROLS. THE CFI TOLD THE STUDENT TO EXTEND FULL FLAPS WHEN HE WAS SURE HE COULD LAND ON THE RWY. THE STUDENT COMPLIED, BUT THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN HARD & BOUNCED BACK IN THE AIR. THE CFI TOOK THE CONTROLS & ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND; HOWEVER, HE THOUGHT THE RUDDER CONTROL WAS INEFFECTIVE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE RWY & THE ACFT WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. A POST-ACDNT EXAM REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF PREIMPACT DAMAGE OR MALFUNCTION. HOWEVER, THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE HARD LANDING HAD DAMAGED THE NOSE GEAR WHICH EFFECTED THE NOSEWHEEL STEERING & RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEMS.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

IMPROPER FLARE BY THE STUDENT AND INADEQUATE SUPERVISION OF THE FLIGHT BY THE CFI WHICH DAMAGED THE NOSE GEAR AND RESTRICTED MOVEMENT OF THE NOSEWHEEL STEERING AND RUDDER CONTROL.
