Accident Number: GAA17CA253
Date and Time: 05/01/2017, 1657 EDT
Registration: N68VY
Aircraft: CIRRUS SR20
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Hard landing
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Instructional
Analysis
The student pilot reported that, during crosswind landing conditions, the airplane landed hard and subsequently bounced. He added that he initiated a go-around, and then the flight instructor took the flight controls.
The flight instructor reported that, after the bounce, the airplane "began to roll to the left in a manner similar to that of an uncoordinated stall." He added that he attempted to regain control of the airplane but was unsuccessful. The airplane rolled right, and the right wing impacted the ground.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings.
The flight instructor reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observation station located about 7 miles north of the airport reported that, about 1 minute before the accident, the wind was from 150° at 11 knots. The airplane landed on runway 24.
Probable Cause and Findings
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The student pilot's failure to adequately compensate for crosswind conditions during a go-around and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action.
Findings
Aircraft Crosswind correction - Not attained/maintained (Cause)
Personnel issues Aircraft control - Student pilot (Cause)
Personnel Issues Delayed action - Instructor/check pilot (Cause)
Environmental issues Crosswind - Effect on operation
