Bald Eagle Field Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Stockport, Ohio 43787
Friday, October 29, 2010 9:30 EST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that he maintained a higher-than-normal approach speed due to the gusty wind conditions. Upon touchdown, the airplane bounced back airborne and the pilot's knee inadvertently moved the throttle control forward, increasing the engine power. Shortly after he realized that the airplane was accelerating between his applications of brakes. The airplane continued off the end of the airstrip and impacted a ditch, resulting in substantial damage to the right wing.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's inadvertent movement of the throttle control during landing, which resulted in an increase in power and excursion from the runway.
