## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

1999, ABOUT 0830 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, A CESSNA 150, N23025, REGISTERED TO A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL, OPERATING AS A 14 CFR PART 91 TRAINING FLIGHT, CRASHED ON LANDING AT GOLDSBORO, NC.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED.  THE AIRPLANE RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE, AND THE STUDENT PILOT, THE SOLE OCCUPANT, WAS UNINJURED.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM MOUNT OLIVE, NC, ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.  ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HER FIRST ATTEMPT AT LANDING ON RUNWAY 23 OF GOLDSBORO-WAYNE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT RESULTED IN HER MAKING A GO-AROUND.  HER SECOND ATTEMPT RESULTED IN A HARD TOUCHDOWN AND RESULTANT BOUNCE.  SHE LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND RAN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INTO ADJACENT GRASS AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH.                                              (-23) UPON ARRIVING ON SCENE, I SPOKE WITH FIRST IN FLIGHT GENERAL MANAGER ^PRIVACY DA^(GWW), WHO VISUALLY SAW ^PRIVACY DATA ^LANDING AT GWW. HIS ACCOUNT OF HER LANDING WAS IN-LINE WITH A PERSONAL STATEMENT GIVEN TO ME BY ^PRIVACY DATA^. HER FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM MT. OLIVE (W40), NC, AND ACCORDING TO HER STATEMENT, FLEW TO GOLDSBORO REGIONAL AIRPORT (GWW) TO CONDUCT SOME             PATTERN WORK ON HER FIRST ATTEMPT AT LANDING, SHE ENCOUNTERED GUSTY WINDS. SHE INITIATED A GO AROUND AND ATTEMPTED ANOTHER LANDING. ON HER SECOND ATTEMPT, SHE BOUNCED THE AIRCRAFT AND WAS PUSHED OFF THE ACTIVE RUNWAY BY A GUST OF WIND. SHE DEPARTED THE RUNWAY AND CROSSED A DITCH WHERE THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SHE WAS NOT INJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE AND THE LANDING GEAR. PHOTOS OF THE AIRCRAFT WERE TAKEN AND A STATEMENT FROM ^PRIVACY DATA^ WAS GIVEN. FURTHER INVESTIGAITON FROM ^PRIVACY DAT^MAINTENANCE MANAGER (IA1415290) REVEALED THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS MINOR AND REPAIRABLE.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
