Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Osage Beach, Missouri 65065
Thursday, October 25, 2001 15:38 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The Beech 200 was substantially damaged during an aborted landing. The winds were gusting in excess of the airplane's maximum demonstrated crosswind component. A witness reported finding landing gear strut pieces on the runway after the Beech 200's landing attempt. The flight then aborted the landing and continued on to its originating airport where the airplane veered off the runway and damaged airport property during its landing.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The inadequate planning/decision and the exceeded crosswind component by the pilot. The gusts were a contributing factor.
