N8448S – Cessna 182 – 2019-05-13 NTSB Accident Report

On May 13, 2019, a Cessna 182 (N8448S) was involved in an incident near Crossett, AR. 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 the runway centerline and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent nose-over.

The pilot reported that the airplane touched down on the left side of the runway centerline. During the landing roll, he applied right rudder to steer the airplane back to the runway centerline, but he lost directional control and the airplane exited the right side of the runway. The main landing gear encountered the wet dirt on the right side of the runway and the airplane subsequently nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and the right-wing lift-strut.

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

This incident is documented in NTSB report GAA19CA259. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N8448S.
