Accident Number: GAA19CA133
Date & Time: 02/08/2019, 1100 MST
Registration: N995BW
Aircraft: Denney KITFOX IV SPEEDSTER
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

Analysis 

The pilot reported that, while en route, he observed that his passenger was becoming ill, and he reached for the "sick bags," but he was unable to reach them due to his seat belt. He decided to make a precautionary landing on a dirt road. The pilot added that, during the landing flare, a wind gust "pushed the right wing up," the airplane drifted left, and the left wing struck a tree. The airplane rotated counterclockwise and impacted the ground.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and right wing.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The pilot reported that the wind was from an unknown direction at 8 to 14 knots, gusting to 14 to 16 knots. An automated weather observation station located about 12 miles from the accident site reported that, about 7 minutes before the accident, the wind was variable at 3 knots. The pilot was landing the airplane to the south.

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The pilot's failure to maintain lateral control during the landing flare, which resulted in the left wing striking a tree.

Findings

Lateral/bank control - Not attained/maintained (Cause)

Aircraft: BELLANCA 7GCAA
Injuries: 2 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Instructional 

On February 9, 2019, about 1039 Pacific standard time, a Bellanca 7GCAA airplane, N11666, collided with terrain short of the runway at Monterey Bay Academy Airport, (CA66) Watsonville, California. The flight instructor and pilot receiving instruction were seriously injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91, as a local instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. The flight departed Watsonville Municipal Airport (WVI), Watsonville, California, at an unknown time and was destined for CA66.

According to the flight instructor, they departed WVI to the southwest towards the coast and then set up on a left downwind for a simulated emergency landing at CA66 to runway 28; due to the recent rain, they were not planning to land. The flight instructor stated that during the turn from base to final, everything looked good and a go-around was initiated. He did not recall the subsequent accident sequence.

According to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector on scene, the airplane came to rest in a nose down and upright position about 420 ft short of the approach end of runway 28, and about 25 ft off the right side of the runway.

The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

WATSONVILLE, California - UPDATE (9:01 p.m. 2/10/19):  Crews rushed to the Monterey Bay Academy Airport, Saturday, when a small plane crashed onto its runway. The airstrip is a known training ground for Central Coast pilots.

"I used to land out on that strip in my training. It was just a fun, little grass strip that you'd land and practice your take-offs and landings off into the ocean," said retired pilot, Brad Darbro.

The scenic spot saw disaster over the weekend, leaving both the passenger and pilot in serious condition.

Santa Cruz-area pilot, Chris Gularte, said this specific type of plane, a Citabria, is commonly flown around the Monterey Bay. "People go out with these and have a lot of fun. They're really exciting to fly and they do special things. They'll land on a dirt strip like what the academy had," said Gularte.

Staff at the Watsonville Municipal Airport said the plane that crashed was kept there. The Watsonville Municipal Airport is a hub for smaller aircraft, typically used for recreational purposes. 

Although the cause of the plane's crash is still unknown, some pilots believe Saturday's rain and strong gusts could have been a factor. "They're a really lightweight aircraft and they're really affected by winds. I don't know if that's what caused the crash, but it was kind of a windy, stormy day," said Darbro.

The FAA lists the owner of aircraft as Aptos resident, Eva Twardokens. The San Jose Mercury reported this is the former Olympic skier. Whether or not she was flying her plane, at the time of the crash, is still unknown.

UPDATE (6:55 p.m. 2/9/19):

The two people injured in the plane crash Saturday morning outside Watsonville were in "serious" condition, according to Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mike Harris. The female pilot and male passenger were air transported to Natividad Medical Center in Salinas. Their identities have not been released.

The plane's owner is listed as an Aptos resident, according to FAA registry records. The plane is a Bellanca ​​​​​Citabria -  a fixed-wing single engine plane. 

Ian Gregor, a spokesperson for the FAA says the plane crashed "under unknown circumstances while landing"  at the Monterey Bay Academy Airport.

Harris said the plane's nose and left side were damaged when it ended on the runway next to a farm field. Firefighters cut off the right wing while trying to pull the pilot and passenger from the fuselage.

The NTSB is leading the investigation. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's office was the immediate responding agency, and was joined by Cal Fire, Santa Cruz Fire, Watsonville Fire, Aptos/La Selva Fire, and AMR Paramedics. 

ORIGINAL REPORT: 

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office reports that there has been a plane crash outside Watsonville off San Andreas Road.

The plane crashed on the property of Monterey Bay Academy shortly after taking off from the Watsonville Airport.

Two people were injured in the crash and taken to the hospital, but the cause is still under investigation.

Several local fire districts responded to the scene, but the Sheriff's Office has taken over the scene while they wait for the FAA to arrive.

BAY COUNTY, Florida (WJHG/WECP) - A single-engine plane crashed Wednesday evening at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, delaying multiple flights.

Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport Executive Director Parker McClellan said they received reports that the aircraft landed on the runway without its landing gear at about 7 p.m.

He said their emergency team responded and found two passengers in the plane. McClellan said the passengers had no injuries, and the emergency teams along with other crews were able to get the plane off the runway within an hour and a half.

“Our fire department, our police department, our maintenance folks, the airport trains for this. It’s an event that doesn’t happen every day but we train for it every day,” said McClellan.

McClellan said that an outward bound Southwest Airline flight was delayed along with other three inbound flights.

BAY COUNTY, Florida (WMBB) — Wednesday was a scary evening for two people aboard a single-engine aircraft at Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. Around 7 p.m., the aircraft landing gear malfunctioned, stranding it on the runway.

No one was hurt, but it has caused delays for some passengers. Some connecting flights had to be rescheduled while the aircraft was being towed off the runway.

Airport director Parker McClellan says airlines are working with passengers on the delayed flights. He also says that situations like these help keep the airport prepared for more serious events.

“It doesn’t happen a lot, but we train for it every day. So that when it does happen our team and the airport team is ready to respond,” said McClellan.

The airport runway has been cleared and flights are resuming their normal schedules.

Defining Event: Loss of control on ground
Injuries: 3 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

Analysis 

The pilot reported that, during the takeoff roll on a plowed, snow-covered runway, he could "feel the [airplane] pulling to the right" and corrected with opposite rudder, but the airplane slowly exited the runway to the right and impacted a snowbank.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to both propellers and the right engine mount.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The airport's automated weather observation station reported that, about 5 minutes before the accident, the wind was from 110° at 5 knots, 1 1/4 statute miles visibility, overcast at 900 ft, temperature 18°F, dew point 12°F, and light snow. The airplane departed from runway 36.

Probable Cause and Findings
