# NTSB CHI06CA153: Cessna R182, N3360C, Cooperstown, ND, June 9, 2006 - Type: NTSB accident investigation - Classification: Accident · No injuries · Data collection · Final report - Date: June 9, 2006, 11:50 local (16:50 UTC) - Place: Cooperstown, ND - Coordinates: 47.423332, -98.106391 - Nearby events: https://openairdocs.org/map.md?lat=47.4233&lon=-98.1064&mi=10 - Phase of flight: [Landing](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases/550) (OpenAirDocs' grouping) - Highest injury: No injuries - Injuries: 3 uninjured - Status: Completed, report January 31, 2007 - Report: Approved by Office Director - Parties: FAA- Fargo, ND FSDO - NTSB case key (mKey): 63945 - NTSB case page: https://web.ntsb.gov/investigations/?ntsbnumber=CHI06CA153 - NTSB report (PDF, downloads): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/63945/pdf - Page: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI06CA153 ## Probable cause The pilot's inability to gain sufficient altitude during the aborted landing. Factors associated with the accident were the tailwind, the pilot's selection of the runway used, the wet runway, the roadway, and the corn crop. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - In flight collision with terrain/water, landing - aborted - airport facilities,runway/landing area condition - wet (contributing factor) - wrong runway - selected, pilot in command (contributing factor) - weather condition - tailwind (contributing factor) - aborted landing - performed, pilot in command - altitude - inadequate, pilot in command (cause) - terrain condition - roadway/highway (contributing factor) - terrain condition - crop (contributing factor) ## Analysis The landing gear contacted a road during an aborted landing. The pilot reported that he made a normal crosswind landing on the first third of runway 31. He reported the runway was wet from recent rains and the airplane did not decelerate as he expected. He decided to perform an aborted landing when he determined the airplane was not going to stop on the remaining runway. He reported that he added full power and the airplane crossed the end of the runway at an altitude of about five feet above the ground. The pilot reported that almost immediately after crossing the end of the runway, he heard a sharp noise and determined the airplane had struck a road which was approximately 15 feet above the runway elevation. He reported he raised the landing gear and the airplane banked to the left which he corrected by applying aileron. The pilot reported that the airplane then slid to a stop in a cornfield. The winds reported at Jamestown, North Dakota, 49 miles from the accident airport, were from 090 degrees at 18 knots gusting to 23 knots. ## Factual narrative The landing gear contacted a road during an aborted landing.

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.
