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
A Cessna T210N crashed when the pilot attempted to underfly wires during a go-around. The pilot misjudged the surface winds and made his final approach with a tail wind. When he passed the midpoint on the 2,600 ft airstrip and still was not on the ground he decided to go-around. He noticed wires at the departure end of the airstrip in his flight path and attempted to underfly them. The aircraft collided with terrain prior to the wires. Review of the pilot's training records revealed he had not completed a pilot competency test in the preceding 12 months as required by part 135.293(b).
