Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Delta, Colorado 81416
Monday, October 23, 2006 17:10 MDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the pilot, the airplane was trimmed for 70 knots during the approach. As the airplane crossed over the runway threshold, the pilot was "looking outside the airplane." The airplane experienced a "high sink rate," and the pilot applied the engine throttle in an attempt to arrest the descent. The pilot stated that the throttle application was "too late" and the airplane's nose wheel impacted the runway. The airplane bounced, departed the runway surface, and came to rest upright near the right side of the runway.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

the pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control and a proper descent rate during the landing.
