N216V – Aerotrek A220 – 2012-07-21 NTSB Accident Report

On July 21, 2012, a Aerotrek A220 (N216V) was involved in an incident near Bremerton, WA. All 1 person 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 an attempted go-around in gusting wind conditions.

The pilot reported that after touchdown in the tailwheel equipped airplane, a gust of wind lifted the airplane’s right wing, turning it to the left. The pilot added full power to attempt a go-around; however, the airplane continued to the left and became airborne approximately 90 degrees from runway heading. The airplane touched back down on the grass and collided with a ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operations.
