Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Elkton, Maryland 21921
Saturday, June 2, 2001 17:35 EDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The pilots in the Bellanca had been practicing take-offs and landings on runway 13, and were completing a landing roll-out to a full stop when the flight instructor noticed a Cubby on short final. He pulled the airplane over to the far right side of the runway and stopped. The non-radio-equipped Cubby landed in calm wind conditions on runway 31, and the pilot noticed the Bellanca on the runway off to his left during the landing roll-out. The Cubby pilot was unable to stop in time and the two airplanes' left wingtips collided. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no mechanical deficiencies were reported by either pilot. Runway 13/31 was 2,635 feet long, and 80 feet wide with displaced thresholds at each end.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The Cubby pilot's inadequate visual lookout for the Bellanca on the runway, prior to landing.
