Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

New Baden, Illinois 63365
Friday, October 22, 2010 12:15 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot was returning to his home airfield after a local flight. The pilot stated that the final approach to the runway was a little longer than normal and thus the airplane was at a lower altitude. As the airplane approached the runway threshold he reduced the engine power. The airplane touched down in a plowed field about 100 feet from the end of the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot opined that the loss of control was a result of the airplane encountering turbulence on the approach. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical malfunctions associated with the airplane during the flight.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during landing.
