NTSB Identification: GAA17CA133
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Sunday, January 22, 2017 in Sebring, OH
Probable Cause Approval Date: 09/07/2017
Aircraft: CESSNA 182, registration: N3828D
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report.
The pilot in the tricycle-gear-equipped airplane reported that he landed about 4 ft short of the asphalt runway. The nose landing gear struck the 6-inch-high asphalt perimeter and separated from the airplane. The pilot aborted the landing, the airplane bounced, and the pilot established a climb. He completed one traffic pattern and an approach. During the second landing, the pilot chose to land on the turf safety area parallel to the runway. When the airplane’s main landing gear touched down on the turf surface, the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall, fuselage, left wing, and empennage.
Per the National Transportation Safety Board Pilot Aircraft Accident Report, the pilot reported that the accident could have been prevented by being more diligent in observing the touchdown point on the runway.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot’s failure to maintain the proper glidepath during landing, which resulted in the airplane landing short of the runway, the nose landing gear separating, and the airplane nosing over during a second landing.

The plane took off after contact with the ground.
Wagner, 62, of Alliance, made another landing attempt on a grass stretch of land west of the landing strip.
The plane struck the ground and flipped over.
Wagner was not injured in the crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board were contacted and will be conducting an investigation.
