Investigation Docket - National Transportation Safety Board: https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket
Location: Camas, Washington
Accident Number: WPR20CA041
Date & Time: December 5, 2019, 13:04 Local
Registration: N52458
Aircraft: Cessna 182
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Collision during takeoff/land
Injuries: 4 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Instructional
Analysis
The flight instructor reported that, with the student pilot on the controls for the landing, the airplane floated and eventually touched down about "the first third of the runway." The airplane bounced, and the instructor announced that he was assuming control of the airplane. The instructor simultaneously attempted to apply full throttle by pushing the student's hand, which was still on the throttle and prevented him from achieving full power as he attempted to gain altitude without stalling the airplane. The airplane subsequently struck a fence near the departure end of the runway, so the instructor reduced power and executed a forced landing to an open field. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer. The instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation and that he should have assumed control of the airplane sooner.
Probable Cause and Findings
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The student pilot's improper landing flare, which resulted in a bounced landing, and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action and the student's failure to relinquish control, which resulted in a runway overrun and impact with a fence.
Findings
Aircraft Landing flare - Not attained/maintained
Personnel issues Aircraft control - Student/instructed pilot
Personnel issues Delayed action - Instructor/check pilot
Environmental issues Fence/fence post - Effect on operation

The incident happened shortly after 1 p.m., according to East County Fire and Rescue Chief Michael Carnes.
The aircraft experienced some sort of malfunction, Carnes said, which prevented the pilot from stopping before it had run off the end of the airport runway. The plane rolled off the end of the runway, plowed through two fences, and then came to a rest in a field nearby, which is owned by the Port of Camas-Washougal.
The pilot and three passengers were able to walk away unharmed.
Carnes says they were on scene in moments, since Station 91 sits directly next to the airfield. Air traffic was briefly halted, but allowed to continue after a fire engine was moved from the runway.
Grove field is owned and operated by the Port of Camas-Washougal, and located three miles north of the city of Camas.
It has been a rough year for pilots who call Grove Field their home base. In January, Battle Ground pilot George Regis vanished after taking off from the strip. He and his aircraft were later found crashed on Mount Hood.
Last April a small kit plane crashed near La Center after taking off from Grove Field. Milo Kays, 73, of Camas, and Dennis Kozacek, 70, of Ridgefield were both killed. Both men had hangars at Grove Field.
Carnes says they’re happy that Thursday’s incident ended up being much less dramatic, and that no one was injured. The cause of the crash is being investigated by the FAA and the NTSB, according to a release from the Clark County Sheriff’s office.
