# NTSB ANC06CA091: Dahlstrom - Piel Emeraude CP-30, N667N, Venice, FL, July 15, 2006 - Type: NTSB accident investigation - Classification: Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report - Date: July 15, 2006, 16:00 local (22:00 UTC) - Place: Venice, FL - Coordinates: 27.071388, -82.440277 - Nearby events: https://openairdocs.org/map.md?lat=27.0714&lon=-82.4403&mi=10 - Phase of flight: [Landing](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases/550) (OpenAirDocs' grouping) - Highest injury: No injuries - Injuries: 2 uninjured - Status: Completed, report December 28, 2006 - Report: Approved by Office Director - NTSB office: Alaska Regional Office - NTSB case key (mKey): 64154 - NTSB case page: https://web.ntsb.gov/investigations/?ntsbnumber=ANC06CA091 - NTSB report (PDF, downloads): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/64154/pdf - Page: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC06CA091 ## Probable cause The pilot's inadequate compensation for crosswind conditions, which resulted in a loss of control during the landing roll. Factors associated with the accident were a crosswind, and an inadvertent swerve. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll - weather condition - crosswind (contributing factor) - compensation for wind conditions - inadequate, pilot in command (cause) - ground loop/swerve - inadvertent, pilot in command (contributing factor) ## Analysis The private certificated pilot was landing a homebuilt, tailwheel-equipped airplane on runway 22, which required a correction for a right crosswind. The local area personal flight was conducted under Title 14, CFR Part 91. The pilot stated that on the accident landing the airplane bounced slightly, then veered to the left side of the runway. He was unable to maintain directional control, and the airplane went off the left side of the runway, and entered an area of grass-covered terrain. The airplane subsequently nosed over and sustained substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and canopy. According to the pilot, wind conditions at the time of the accident were 270 degrees at 9 knots, with gusts to 12 knots. The pilot noted in his written report to the NTSB that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane. ## Factual narrative The private certificated pilot was landing a homebuilt, tailwheel-equipped airplane on runway 22, which required a correction for a right crosswind.

Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong.
