Accident occurred Thursday, February 16, 2017 in Burlington, NC
Probable Cause Approval Date: 05/15/2017
Aircraft: CESSNA 172, registration: N381MG
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 reported that, during landing in a gusting crosswind, following the main wheels touching down and as the nosewheel was about to touch down, the airplane “abruptly lifted into the air.” He immediately added full power to go-around, but the airplane drifted to the left off the runway surface and impacted an embankment.
The left wing sustained substantial damage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observing station at the accident airport, about the time of the accident, recorded wind from 270° at 16 knots, gusting to 31 knots. A peak wind of 260° at 31 knots was recorded about 5 minutes before the accident. The airplane landed on runway 24.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's failure to maintain the runway heading during an attempted go-around in gusting crosswind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion.
