N91WW

On December 20, 2019, a Flight Design CTSW (N91WW) was involved in an accident near Delaware, OH. The accident resulted in 1 minor injury. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident to be: The student pilot’s failure to maintain yaw control during takeoff, which resulted in an aborted takeoff and subsequent landing on grassy terrain, during which the airplane bounced and then nosed over.

The student pilot was flying solo in the traffic pattern and had landed with the intention of performing a touch-and-go. During the takeoff, the airplane "veered heavily to the left." The student pilot attempted to correct the veer without success. The student pilot elected to land the airplane in the grass; the airplane bounced twice and then nosed over resulting in substantial damage to the right wing and rudder. The student pilot stated that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations. The student pilot did not maintain directional control of the airplane during the touch-and-go.

This accident is documented in NTSB report CEN20CA039. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N91WW.
