N741R

On April 18, 2013, a American Legend Aircraft Co AL3 (N741R) was involved in an incident near Rexburg, ID. 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 landing in gusting wind conditions, and the airplane’s subsequent collision with a fence during the go-around attempt.

The pilot reported that just before touchdown a gust of wind struck the airplane and lifted the right wing, which resulted in the left wheel contacting the runway. The airplane veered off to the left, and the pilot initiated a go-around. The airplane did not gain enough altitude before the landing gear collided with a chain link fence along the left side of the runway. The airplane subsequently nosed over substantially damaging the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report WPR13CA200. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N741R.
