N738BH – CESSNA 172 - N – 2014-02-15 NTSB Accident Report

On February 15, 2014, a Cessna 172 - N (N738BH) was involved in an incident near Glendale, AZ. 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 control of the airplane during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent impact with a taxiway sign.

After touching down the airplane veered to the left. The pilot added right rudder to correct back to the centerline, however, it continued toward the right side of the runway. The airplane subsequently went off of the runway and impacted a taxiway sign, which resulted in substantial damage to the rear right wing spar. A postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration aviation safety inspector revealed no preimpact anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report WPR14CA116. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N738BH.
