Tuesady, June 7, 2005 13:30 MDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot said that he was practicing takeoff and landings with a 10 knot crosswind for proficiency. He was using runway 14, and he said the wind was 220 degrees at 10 knots. He said that he had done 5 landings without any problems, and on the final landing the plane bounced and went into a three point landing . Next, the upwind wing started to come up, and he applied full aileron correction but could not stop the airplane from turning into the wind. The left wing tip impacted the ground wrinkling the wing, and the left main landing gear strut was bent.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during landing roll. A contributing factor was the cross wind weather condition.
