## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SEPTEMBER 22, 2005, AT AROUND 4:30 PM, THE PILOT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITT^ WHILE ATTEMPTING A CROWHOP MANEUEVER, ENCOUNTERED A STRONG CROSSWIND AND HARD LANDED IN A RETENTION POND ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT THE ROCKLEDGE AIRPARK LOCATED IN ROCKLEDGE, FLORIDA. THE PILOT WAS TAKING OFF FROM RUNWAY 18 HEADING SOUTH, WHEN SUDDENLY AT ABOUT TEN FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, A CROSSWIND COMING FROM THE EAST CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT N727MV, TO VEER LEFT. THE PILOT, IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING A BUILDING, LANDED THE AIRCRAFT IN A RETENTION POND WHILE AVOIDING A STORAGE CAMP AHEAD OF THE POND. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AND THE PILOT SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES.

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.
