N6849C – Beech T34 – 2018-07-09 NTSB Accident Report

On July 09, 2018, a Beech T34 (N6849C) was involved in an incident near Dallas, TX. 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 airplane’s critical angle of attack during the landing flare, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

The pilot receiving instruction reported that, during an airplane check out, he performed a simulated engine failure. During the landing flare, the airplane "ran out of energy" and the right wing struck the runway.

The flight instructor reported that, about 5 ft above the runway, the airplane aerodynamically stalled and the right wing dropped and struck the runway.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.

The flight instructor 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 GAA18CA413. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N6849C.
