# NTSB MIA00LA089: Beech 76, N2007K, Salisbury, NC, February 10, 2000 - Type: NTSB accident investigation - Classification: Accident · No injuries · Limited investigation · Final report - Date: February 10, 2000, 18:45 local (23:45 UTC) - Place: Salisbury, NC - Coordinates: 35.659839, -80.479476 (estimated) - Nearby events: https://openairdocs.org/map.md?lat=35.6598&lon=-80.4795&mi=10 - Phase of flight: [Landing](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases/550) (OpenAirDocs' grouping) - Highest injury: No injuries - Injuries: 2 uninjured - Status: Completed, report November 29, 2000 - Report: Approved by Office Director - NTSB case key (mKey): 48636 - NTSB case page: https://web.ntsb.gov/investigations/?ntsbnumber=MIA00LA089 - NTSB report (PDF, downloads): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/48636/pdf - Page: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA00LA089 ## Probable cause The flight instructors inadequate supervision of a dual student who attempted a go around using one engine which resulted in loss of control and impact with the ground. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - Loss of control - in flight, landing - aborted - supervision - inadequate, pilot in command(cfi) (cause) - powerplant controls - improper use of, dual student - airspeed(vmc) - below - aircraft control - not possible, flightcrew - In flight collision with terrain/water, descent - uncontrolled - terrain condition - grass ## Analysis While performing a visual approach with a simulated failure of the right engine, the flight instructor told the dual student to use both engines for landing. Just prior to the landing flare, the dual student allowed the aircraft to drift and the flight instructor commanded that he perform a go around. The dual student used only the left engine for the go around and as power was applied, the aircraft rolled to the right. The flight instructor took control and applied full left rudder and aileron, but did not regain control prior to the aircraft impacting the ground in the grass adjacent to the runway. ## Factual narrative On February 10, 2000, about 1845 eastern standard time, a Beech 76, N2007K, registered to Flights Unlimited, Inc., crashed during an aborted landing at Rowan County Airport, Salisbury, North Carolina, while on a Title 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the airline transport-rated flight instructor and private-rated dual student were not injured. The flight last departed Salisbury, North Carolina, the same day, about 1840. The flight instructor and dual student stated that the flight departed from Rowan County Airport about 1745. After performing airwork, including flight at minimum control speed (Vmc), they returned to Rowan County Airport for a touch-and-go landing. They entered the pattern after the touch-and-go landing, and planned to make a full stop landing. During this approach the flight instructor simulated the failure of the right engine. During final approach the flight instructor told the dual student he could use both engines for landing. As they approached the flare for landing the student drifted to the left and the instructor told him to go around. During the go around, the dual student used only the left engine. The aircraft rolled to the right after power application, and the flight instructor took control. The flight instructor applied full left rudder and aileron, but could not regain control prior to hitting the ground in the grass to the side of the runway. Examination of the aircraft after the accident was performed by an FAA inspector. The inspector stated the main and nose landing gear had received damage. The surface skin of both wings was wrinkled enough to indicate further internal damage to wing ribs and possibly the spars. At the left wing root the wing was pulled outward away from the fuselage in a way that suggest that there may be additional damage at the wing attachment points.
