N7027F

On April 12, 2016, a Cessna Aircraft Co E162 (N7027F) was involved in an incident near Lee's Summit, MO. 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 flight instructor's failure to maintain directional control during an aborted landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with a taxiway sign.

The flight instructor reported that the student pilot flared high and the airplane bounced on touchdown. Subsequently, the airplane veered to the right during the landing roll and the flight instructor took the flight controls and added power to abort the landing, but the airplane continued off the runway to the right. The right elevator struck a taxiway sign during the runway excursion, which resulted in substantial damage to the elevator.

The flight instructor did not report any mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA16CA192. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N7027F.
