Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Centralia, Illinois 62801
Wednesday, August 22, 2012 11:30 CDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot reported that, after a normal approach and landing, the airplane became airborne again. The airplane drifted to the left and the pilot applied engine power and right rudder to correct for that drift; however, the airplane did not respond to his inputs. The airplane contacted a grass surface and turned sharply to the left, sustaining substantial left wing and aileron damage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll.
