Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Austin, Texas 78719
Saturday, February 13, 2010 13:06 CST
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
As the airplane touched down in a “full stall three point landing” the pilot said that he encountered a gust of wind that lifted the right wing and that he could not prevent the airplane from drifting to the left. He applied power and attempted a go-around, but the airplane became airborne for only a “short distance” before impacting terrain on the left side of the runway. There was substantial damage to the right wing, right main landing gear, and structural damage to the fuselage; there were no injuries to the two persons on board.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing and his failure to properly execute a go-around.
