Investigation Docket - National Transportation Safety Board:
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.
