NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On August 23, 2014, about 1015 central daylight time, a Cessna 177 airplane, N3202T, impacted trees during landing rollout at Cedar Mills Airport (3T0), Gordonville, Texas. The pilot and one passenger were seriously injured and two passengers received minor injuries. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The airplane was registered to and operated by a private individual under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident and no flight plan was filed. The flight originated from Lakeview Airport (30F), Lake Dallas, Texas about 0945.
The pilot stated that during a visual approach to Runway 25 at 3T0 he was making left aileron and right rudder control inputs, based on a crosswind from the south. As the airplane descended below the tree line, the wind decreased and the airplane drifted left. During rollout, the airplane departed the left side of the turf runway and impacted multiple trees.
At 1015 the weather observation station at North Texas Regional Airport (GYI), Denison, Texas, located about 10 miles southeast of the accident site, reported the following conditions: wind 200 degrees at 11 knots, visibility 10 miles, clear skies, temperature 31 degrees Celsius (C), dew point 17 degrees C, altimeter setting 30.02 inches of mercury.
