## Narrative

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

ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 2010, AT APPROXIMATELY 13:26 EDT, A CESSNA 182, N3351Y PILOTED BY FLOYD WILLIAM GRIFFIN LANDED ON RUNWAY 1 AT NORTHEAST REGIONAL AIRPORT, EDENTON, NC. WEATHER REPORTS CURRENT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT INDICATE A DIRECT CROSSWIND FROM THE RIGHT BLOWING AT EIGHT KNOTS.  THE PILOT PERCEIVED THAT HE WAS LANDING WITH A RIGHT QUARTERING TAIL WIND.  IN A THREE WAY TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE NTSB INVESTIGATOR, THE PILOT, AND THIS FAA INSPECTOR ON THE LINE, THE PILOT REPORTED MOVING THE AILERONS FULL LEFT TO LOWER THE RIGHT AILERON "IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE QUARTERING TAIL WIND FROM GETTING UNDER THE RIGHT WING". THE RIGHT WING CAME OFF THE RUNWAY.   THE PILOT REPORTED APPLYING RIGHT RUDDER IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY.  THE PILOT ALSO REPORTED THAT THE CONTROLS DID NOT SEEM TO BE AS EFFECTIVE AS THEY NORMALLY ARE.  THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 2,860 FEET FROM THE THRESHOLD OF RUNWAY 1.  GROUND SCARS INDICATED THAT ONLY THE NOSE WHEEL AND THE LEFT MAIN WERE IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED APPROXIMATELY 90 FEET OFF THE RUNWAY SURFACE ON THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL AND THE NOSE WHEEL.   UPON LEAVING THE RUNWAY SURFACE, THE AIRCRAFT WAS TRAVELING THROUGH MUD AND GRASS UNTIL THE NOSE WHEEL DUG IN AND STOPPED ABRUPTLY IN THE MUD.  THE AIRCRAFT WENT UP ON ITS NOSE AND FLIPPED OVER ON ITS BACK.
