14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Friday, June 02, 2017 in San Carlos, CA
Probable Cause Approval Date: 08/03/2017
Aircraft: CESSNA T182, registration: N6259T
Injuries: 3 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 the landing flare in gusting crosswind conditions, the “pilot side wheel briefly touched down” and then “a wind gust pushed the plane down,” which resulted in the nose gear impacting the runway hard. He added that he subsequently heard “a snapping popping bang under my feet” and that the airplane bounced. He further added that, when the airplane settled back to the runway, it skidded to the right off the runway.
The firewall sustained substantial damage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
An automated weather observation station at the airport recorded that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 280° at 13 knots. The pilot reported that the landing was on runway 30.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The pilot's incorrect landing flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing.
