| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, during landing and while in ground affect, “the airplane suddenly, and without an aural stall warning, lost lift and was forced onto the runway.” Subsequently, the nose gear landing collapsed, and the airplane veered off the runway to the right.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observation system located about 15 miles from the accident site reported that, about 6 minutes before the accident, the wind was from 230° at 10 knots. The pilot landed on runway 19.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed and his exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack during landing in crosswind conditions, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.
