## Narrative

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

PIC STATEMENT-I LEFT ON MAY 21 FROM TUCSON TO PHOENIX AFTER HAVING LEFT A PASSENGER IN TUCSON AND AFTER

RELAXING FOR A WHILE IN ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WE CONTINUED TOWARDS OUR DESTINATION, WE GOT ON THE PLANE,

THE PLANE TURNED ON ALL NORMAL, LISTEN TO THE ATIS AND THEN CONTINUE TO REQUEST MY VFR FLIGHT

CLEARENCE I WAITED FOR 15 MIN TO BE GIVEN IT THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT DAY IN TUCSON, AFTER I

WAS AUTHORIZED WE FLEW TO PHOENIX ON THE ROUTE EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL, A LITTLE TURBULENCE BUT

LIGHT, SOMETHING NORMAL DUE TO THE HEAT.

IT WAS A FLIGHT OF ALMOST 1 HOUR. FINALLY, WE WERE AUTHORIZED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 25L. THE

CONTROLLER TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL WITH THE TURBULENCE OF THE PLANE THAT HAD JUST LANDED. CONTINUE

WITH THE APPROACH ALL NORMAL AND CALM THE WIND HAD IT ORIENTED FROM 240 WITH 14

WE CONTINUE WITH THE APPROACH, THEN I LANDED ON RUNWAY 25L, THE TRUTH WAS A VERY SOFT

LANDING, AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND WHEN I WAS TAXIING ON THE RUNWAY, I FEEL LIKE THE PLANE WANTS

TO GET UP FROM THE LEFT SIDE I TRY TO CONTROL BUT WHAT RAISED US IT WAS A VERY STRONG BATTLE TO

CONTROL IT BUT I CONTROLLED IT BECAUSE I FELT THAT THE PLANE WAS GOING TO TURN AROUND BUT IT DID NOT.

THE PLANE ENDED UP COMING TO A STOP ALMOST GOING OUT ONTO A TAXIWAY. THEN CAME THE

PARAMEDICS FIREFIGHTERS AND VARIOUS AUTHORITIES. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND I GOT OFF THE PLANE EARLIER AND WE

WERE BOTH FINE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THE EMOTION OF THE MOMENT WOULD SUBSIDE, I STARTED TO

GET SCARED AND THE PARAMEDICS HELPED ME, THEY CHECKED ME AND EVERYTHING WENT VERY WELL,

THEY ASKED ME QUESTIONS AND IN THE END THEY MADE ME SIGN THAT I WAS FINE. THEN THEY TOOK US

TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WHERE I SPOKE ON THE PHONE WITH SOME VERY KIND PEOPLE. I TRIED TO

TELL THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT AT THE MOMENT I COULDN'T THINK ABOUT MANY THINGS AT THAT TIME.

AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AND ALREADY BEING IN BED I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT COULD

HAVE HAPPENED

THE CROSSWIND WAS NOT OF THAT I AM SURE SINCE IN TUCSON THERE WAS MUCH MORE CROSSWIND THAN

IN PHOENIX THAT DAY APART IN PHOENIX THERE WAS NO CROSSWIND.

THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THE PLANE THAT LANDED IN FRONT OF ME, I WONDERED IF THE TURBULENCE THAT I

LEFT ON THE RUNWAY COULD BE SO STRONG THAT THE PLANE GOT ME OUT OF CONTROL.

THEN I LISTEN TO THE FREQUENCIES AND HEAR THAT WINDSHEARE HAD BEEN REPORTED 10-15MIN

BEFORE I LANDED.

AND THAT OTHER PLANES HAD REPORTED AND GO AROUND

AND THE TOWER TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF WINDSHEARE TO THE LARGEST PLANES BUT I WAS

NOT REPORTED WHEN I WAS AUTHORIZED TO LAND. I WAS ONLY REPORTED TO BE CAREFUL WITH THE

TURBULENCE OF THE PLANE THAT HAD LANDED BEFORE ME.

## 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.
