N60198 – BOEING A75N1 – 2012-05-26 NTSB Accident Report

On May 26, 2012, a Boeing A75N1 (N60198) was involved in an incident near Foley, AL. All 2 people aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during landing.

According to the pilot, he put the airplane into a forward slip on the final leg of the traffic pattern in order to descend onto the runway; the airplane bounced once upon contact and settled. He noticed the airplane was positioned slightly to the right of the centerline and was unsuccessful in his attempts to apply left rudder; unaware if the passenger (seated in the front) was blocking the right rudder pedal or if the passenger had applied the right rudder to maneuver the airplane back onto the centerline. The airplane veered to the right, and the left wing tip made contact with the runway before the airplane departed the right side of the runway and came to rest in a grassy area. The damage was substantial to the left wing and the fuselage.

This incident is documented in NTSB report ERA12CA381. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N60198.
