Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft dragged the left wing tip during lndg in a x-wind. The plt stated that he knew the wind was gusty before his takeoff but he felt certain that he could handle it. He stated after the accident that during the landing he had the acft in a crabbed attitude 'when the wind stopped for just an instant'. During an 'overcorrection' for the lack of wind the plt said he was hit by another wind gust which' tipped the rt wing up-allowing the left wing to make contact with rwy 61. The plts safety recommendation on his NTSB form 6120.1 (pilot/operator acft acc report-used for civil acft accidents involving gen avia acft) was 'more cross wind experience for pilot'.
