Aircraft: Cessna 172
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Abnormal runway contact 
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Instructional

Analysis

The student pilot reported that while practicing touch and go landings, he “came in a little faster than normal” on the 7th landing. During touchdown, the airplane bounced several times, each bounce “harder/higher” than the previous. He attempted to perform a abort the landing but the nose landing gear struck the ground “hard” and the propeller struck the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the forward fuselage. The pilot 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 and improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a hard landing.

Findings

Personnel issues Aircraft control - Student/instructed pilot
Personnel issues Incorrect action performance - Student/instructed pilot
Aircraft Landing flare - Not attained/maintained

On July 8, 2020, a Robinson R-22 helicopter, N7186K, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Venice, Louisiana. The pilot was not injured. The helicopter was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 business flight.

The pilot was conducting an alligator nesting survey at about 30 ft above the ground (AGL) when there was a partial loss of engine power. He successfully autorotated to the swampy terrain where the helicopter settled to the left when the left skid sunk into the ground. The main rotor blades subsequently impacted the ground. The main rotor pitch links were damaged when the main rotors hit the ground, substantially damaging the helicopter. The helicopter was retained for further examination.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Instructional

Analysis

The private pilot/owner had recently purchased the tailwheel-equipped airplane, and while he had prior experience flying other tailwheel airplanes and had no prior experience in the accident airplane make and model. The purpose of accident flight was to gain experience while flying with a flight instructor.  The pilot was flying in the left seat, which was the only seat equipped with wheel brakes, and the flight instructor was flying in the right seat. After an uneventful flight in the airport traffic pattern, the pilot approached the runway and touched down on the main landing gear. Shortly after the tailwheel touched down the airplane began drifting to the left. The pilot’s rudder inputs were ineffective in correcting the drift and the flight instructor assumed control of the airplane. The flight instructor reported that as he applied right rudder, the pilot applied braking forces that neutralized the flight instructor’s rudder inputs. The pilot eventually let go of the brakes after the airplane departed the left side of the runway, and with full right rudder still being applied by the flight instructor, the airplane veered back onto the runway. The airplane subsequently ground looped and the left main landing gear collapsed. The left wing and the fuselage were substantially damaged. Neither pilot reported any mechanical malfunctions or failures of 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 on landing resulting in a runway excursion and subsequent ground loop. Contributing to the outcome were the flight instructor’s inadequate remedial actions.

Findings

Personnel issues Aircraft control - Pilot
Aircraft Directional control - Not attained/maintained

The pilot reported that, while maneuvering at low altitude on the leeward side of a ridge to follow elk, he encountered a downdraft and the airplane slightly pitched up and the airspeed decreased. The pilot lowered the nose attitude, applied full engine power, and turned away from the hill, however the airplane's descent rate continued to increase. Near the ground, the pilot tried to flare in ground effect but the descent rate did not slow as expected and the airplane landed hard, bending the left main landing gear under the airplane and substantially damaging the left wing when it struck the ground.

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

A small plane crashed on the Hanford nuclear reservation around noon Sunday when it flew too low trying to look at the site’s elk herd.

The two people on the single-engine plane were not hurt, said the Benton County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post.

The pilot was David Lake, 48, of Yakima, and the passenger was Leon Hudon, 87 of Wapato.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane was a Rans S-6ES Coyote II.

Lake and Hudon told officials they were checking out the elk in the area, got too low and a gust of wind caught the plane, causing it to veer into the ground at the base of Rattlesnake Mountain.

One of the wheels came off when it hit the ground and then the nose hit the ground, according to the sheriff’s office.

Benton County Sheriff's Office

Our office responded to the Hanford site this afternoon reference a single-engine plane that had crashed at the base of Rattlesnake Mountain. The two occupants of the plane were uninjured in the incident, but the plane was heavily damaged. From their statements, the occupants were checking out the Elk in the area, got too low and a gust of wind caught the plane causing it to veer into the ground. Notifications were made to the FAA and Hanford Patrol. Our office will be handling the collection of information and assisted by Wildlife Fish and Game with photos. Due to the ongoing investigation, we are not releasing any names at this time. From those involved it does appear to be an accident at this time and does not appear to be impairment related.

On July 3, 2020, about 0830 central daylight time, an Air Tractor AT-602 airplane, N8506E, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Des Arc, Arkansas. The pilot was not injured. The airplane operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 as an aerial application flight.

According to information provided by the pilot, after completing the aerial application he flew to survey another field. On the second turn over the field, the engine lost power and the pilot noted that the fuel pressure was zero. He leveled the wings and turned on the fuel boost pump restoring fuel pressure and engine power. Due to the proximity of the ground, the pilot performed a forced landing to the field. During the landing, substantial damage was sustained to the left wing.

The airplane was retained for further examination.
