N5011D – CESSNA 182 – 2017-06-02 NTSB Accident Report

On June 02, 2017, a Cessna 182 (N5011D) was involved in an incident near Elk City, ID. 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 pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the wing’s angle of attack while on short final, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

The pilot reported that, during the landing, while over the threshold of the airstrip, he aerodynamically stalled the airplane. He added that the airplane touched down and bounced, then drifted left and bounced again while exiting the airstrip. Subsequently, the left wing hit a tree and the airplane came to rest nose down.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA17CA320. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N5011D.
