What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot-in-command, a student pilot, was the sole occupant of the aircraft. Just prior to touchdown on the fourth practice landing, the plane yawed into the crosswind coming from the left. The pilot could not react quickly enough to straighten the plane before the tires made contact with the runway. Upon touchdown the airplane veered to the left and exited the runway onto the grass. This area slopes downward then upward before becoming level. While rolling upslope the nose gear, its support strut, one propeller blade, and the firewall were damaged when the nose gear struck the turf near the top of the slope; then the plane became airborne. It struck ground spinner first; then rotated left striking the left wing leading edge and tip. The plane then rotated onto its landing gear in an upright position. (.4) on January 29, 2001, at about 1125 eastern standard time, a Cessna 152, N152DF, registered to international wings, operating as a 14 CFR part 91 instructional flight crashed on landing rollout at the Massey ranch airpark, edgewater, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The student pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Massey ranch airpark about 25 minutes before the accident. The student pilot stated he had been conducting touch-and-go landings with a crosswind. On touchdown he took out the crosswind correction. The airplane started to veer to the left, departed the runway into the grass, collided with a ridge, became airborne, and collided with the ground in a nose-down attitude.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND, A STUDENT PILOT, WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN ON THE FOURTH PRACTICE LANDING, THE PLANE YAWED INTO THE CROSSWIND COMING FROM THE LEFT. THE PILOT COULD NOT REACT QUICKLY ENOUGH TO STRAIGHTEN THE PLANE BEFORE THE TIRES MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY. UPON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND EXITED THE RUNWAY ONTO THE GRASS. THIS AREA SLOPES DOWNWARD THEN UPWARD BEFORE BECOMING LEVEL. WHILE ROLLING UPSLOPE THE NOSE GEAR, ITS SUPPORT STRUT, ONE PROPELLER BLADE, AND THE FIREWALL WERE DAMAGED WHEN THE NOSE GEAR STRUCK THE TURF NEAR THE TOP OF THE SLOPE; THEN THE PLANE BECAME AIRBORNE. IT STRUCK GROUND SPINNER FIRST; THEN ROTATED LEFT STRIKING THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE AND TIP. THE PLANE THEN ROTATED ONTO ITS LANDING GEAR IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. (.4) ON JANUARY 29, 2001, AT ABOUT 1125 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, A CESSNA 152, N152DF, REGISTERED TO INTERNATIONAL WINGS, OPERATING AS A 14 CFR PART 91 INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT CRASHED ON LANDING ROLLOUT AT THE MASSEY RANCH AIRPARK, EDGEWATER, FLORIDA. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE STUDENT PILOT REPORTED NO INJURIES. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM MASSEY RANCH AIRPARK ABOUT 25 MINUTES BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE STUDENT PILOT STATED HE HAD BEEN CONDUCTING TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS WITH A CROSSWIND. ON TOUCHDOWN HE TOOK OUT THE CROSSWIND CORRECTION. THE AIRPLANE STARTED TO VEER TO THE LEFT, DEPARTED THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS, COLLIDED WITH A RIDGE, BECAME AIRBORNE, AND COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND IN A NOSE-DOWN ATTITUDE.
