N6200B – CESSNA T206H – 2012-07-16 NTSB Accident Report

On July 16, 2012, a Cessna T206H (N6200B) was involved in an accident near Glens Falls, NY. The accident resulted in 1 minor injury. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion.

According to the pilot, after the airplane landed, it veered to the left. He initiated a go-around, applied full power, but the airplane exited the left side of the runway. The airplane continued about 100 yards across the grass apron, and into deeper grass where it struck a ditch, nosed over, and came to rest inverted. A post-accident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and vertical stabilizer. Further examination revealed the left main landing gear tire had come off the tire rim during the accident sequence, but no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This accident is documented in NTSB report ERA12CA460. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N6200B.
