Wind gusts were a 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 - roll - compensation for wind conditions - inadequate, pilot in command (cause) - weather condition - gusts (contributing factor) - On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll - object - runway light ## Analysis The pilot reported that during the landing roll on runway 28L with a 90 degree crosswind, the aircraft encountered a gust of wind. The aircraft veered to the side of the runway and the right wing contacted a runway edge light and the propeller contacted the ground. At the time of the accident, the airport was reporting winds from 180 degrees at nine knots, gusting to 16 knots. ## Factual narrative On June 1, 2001, approximately 1400 mountain daylight time, a Cessna TR182, N4602S, registered to Leeward Winery and operated by the private pilot as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, collided with a runway light during the landing roll at Boise Air Terminal (Gowen Field), Boise, Idaho. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and a visual flight rules flight plan was filed. The aircraft was substantially damaged and the private pilot and his passenger were not injured. The flight departed from Concord, California, about 1115. The pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration Inspector from the Boise Flight Standards District Office and in a subsequent written statement, that during the landing roll with a 90 degree crosswind on runway 28L, the aircraft encountered a gust of wind. The aircraft veered to the side of the runway and the right wing contacted a runway edge light, and the propeller contacted the ground. Maintenance personnel performing repairs on the aircraft reported that the former tip rib on the right wing was damaged, and approximately 12 to 16 inches of leading edge wing skin, requiring an additional seam, was spliced in. At 1406, the Boise airport was reporting winds from 180 degrees at nine knots, gusting to 16 knots. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N4602S](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N4602S), registered now, S/N R18201353, built 1979 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Cessna TR182 - Registry model: [Cessna TR182](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-tr182) (registry code 2072735) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming 0-540 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-0-540-series) (registry code 41532, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: R18201353 - Airframe hours: 1875 - Engines: Lycoming O-540-L3C5D 235 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: Leeward Winery - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, May 3, 2001, 5 hours before - Departed: CCR, Concord, CA - Destination: Boise, ID - Flight plan: VFR - Airport: BOI, Boise Air Terminal, runway 28L, 9,763 × 150 ft, asphalt ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
