On June 20, 2020, about 1854 eastern daylight time (EDT), a Cessna 150J, N51033, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Millersport, Ohio. The private pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot told a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector that he took off from his farm airstrip with the intention of making one circuit and landing. Shortly after takeoff, the engine lost power and the pilot turned back towards his airstrip. The airplane collided with power lines and impacted terrain. There was a post-impact fire. The wreckage has been retained for further examination.

Aircraft: Great Lakes 2T 1A 

Aircraft Damage: Substantial

Defining Event: Loss of control on ground 

Injuries: 1 None

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation

Analysis

The pilot reported that after landing the tailwheel equipped airplane, he applied brake during the landing roll and the airplane started to turn. He applied rudder to correct but overcorrected and the airplane oscillated and then went off the left side of the runway. The airplane subsequently struck a ditch next to the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right lower wing and the right horizontal tail and elevator. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

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 directional control during landing, which resulted in the airplane exiting the runway and striking a ditch.

Findings

No injuries were reported Saturday morning when a Great Lakes 2T-1A aircraft landing at Cambridge Municipal Airport traveled off the side of the runway after touching down and came to rest in a ditch.

The airplane was piloted by Troy Slack, 50, of New Concord, with one passenger, Lance Gross, 50, of Mesa, Colorado.

The State Highway Patrol reported the biplane was traveling at an unsafe speed when Slack attempted to taxi off the roadway causing him to lose control. A patrol trooper said Slack advised investigators he was traveling to fast for the right turn off the runway.

The plane reportedly spun around and traveled off the left side of the runway twice before coming to rest in the ditch with a creek. It sustained minor damage in the accident at approximately 9:50 a.m.

First responders from the Byesville Fire Department were dispatched to the scene along with highway patrol troopers. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board were also notified along with Cambridge Airport Operations Manager Terry Losego.

The runway was closed while troopers investigated the accident and the plane, owned by Slack, was removed from the ditch.

Aircraft Damage: Substantial

Defining Event: Hard landing 

Injuries: 1 None

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

Analysis

The pilot reported that on two landing attempts, the airplane touched down hard and bounced multiple times. After the second landing attempt, the pilot aborted the landing and diverted to another airport. Five flight-legs later, the pilot returned to the airplane's rental location and noticed that the tail tie down fell off when he attempted to tie down the airplane. Further examination revealed substantial damage to the tail. The pilot did not report any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing.

Findings

Personnel issues Aircraft control - Pilot

Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Abnormal runway contact
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Instructional

Analysis

The solo student pilot reported that, upon touchdown, he maintained aft pressure on the control yoke to keep the nose landing gear (NLG) off the runway, but the airplane bounced. The main landing gear touched down again hard, followed by the NLG, which then collapsed, and the left wing impacted the grass adjacent the runway.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.

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

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 hard, bounced landing and nose landing gear collapse.

Defining Event: Fuel exhaustion

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

Analysis

According to the pilot, he completed a preflight inspection of the airplane he had recently purchased and departed with full fuel tanks. During the flight, while receiving flight following services from air traffic control, he was requested to adjust his heading and was eventually routed back on course. When the airplane was about 3 miles from the destination airport, the engine "sputter[ed]." The pilot verified that the fuel shutoff was on, primed the engine, and pumped the throttle with little improvement from the engine. He noted that when the airplane was pitched down, the engine would "sputter," and when it was pitched up, the engine would run. He checked the fuel quantity, and the left fuel gauge indicated 1/8 usable fuel and the right tank indicated "almost" 1/4 usable fuel. The pilot decided the airplane would not be able to make the airport and located a field to perform a forced landing. During the accident sequence, the airplane experienced a hard landing and the engine mount and left wing were substantially damaged. After the airplane was recovered, the pilot drained the unbreached fuel tanks and 3 gallons were removed from the airplane. According to the airplane Pilot Operating Handbook, the airplane held 26 total gallons of fuel, of which 22.5 gallons were useable. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation prior to the accident, however, the right fuel gauge was slightly incorrect.

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The pilot's inadequate preflight and inflight fuel planning, which resulted in fuel exhaustion.
