The crosswind was a contributing factor. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - flare/touchdown - weather condition - crosswind (contributing factor) - go-around - not performed, pilot in command (cause) - flare - improper, pilot in command (cause) - recovery from bounced landing - not performed, pilot in command (cause) ## Analysis The airplane impacted terrain following a bounced landing during a student solo flight. The student pilot reported the following, '...I was inbound from the north to land on runway 36. There was a strong crosswind. I touched down once kind of hard and came back up off the runway. The second time I touched down the nose gear went out from under the plane the nose then dove into the runway. The plane slid down and off the runway to the right, where it came to rest with the nose in the grass.' ## Factual narrative On February 27, 2000, at 1253 central standard time, a Cessna 150M, N462Q, operated by Tig Air Aviation, Incorporated, received substantial damage during a hard landing on runway 36 (4,701 feet by 75 feet, dry asphalt) at Marshal Memorial Municipal Airport (MHL), Marshall, Missouri. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 student solo cross country flight was not operating on a flight plan. The student pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Jesse Viertel Memorial Airport, Boonville, Missouri, en route to MHL. In a written statement, the student pilot reported the following, "...I was inbound from the north to land on runway 36. There was a strong crosswind. I touched down once kind of hard and came back up off the runway. The second time I touched down the nose gear went out from under the plane the nose then dove into the runway. The plane slid down and off the runway to the right, where it came to rest with the nose in the grass." In a written statement, the student's flight instructor reported the following. "Student departed on a day VFR cross country training flight. After one successful landing at GLY, student was attempting second landing at MHL. It is not clear if wind advisory was given over the unicom. Student says he did not hear one. He says he asked for one. Winds began gusting during approach. One observer said he estimated 15-20 knots across the runway. Student landed hard and failed to maintain directional control." ## Aircraft - Registration: [N462Q](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N462Q), registered now, S/N 15076940, built 1975 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Cessna 150M - Registry model: [Cessna 150M](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-150m) (registry code 2071830) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental 0-200 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-0-200-series) (registry code 17020, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 15076940 - Airframe hours: 9682 - Engines: Continental O-200-A 100 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Instructional, Part 91 - Registered owner: Tig Air Aviation Incorporated - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Utility; Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, January 18, 2000, 70 hours before - Departed: VER, BOONVILLE, MO - Destination: MHL - Airport: MHL, Marshall Memorial, runway 36, 4,701 × 75 ft, asphalt ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
