## Probable cause

THE PILOTS INADEQUATE RECOVERY FROM A BOUNCED LANDING. FACTORS INCLUDE UNFAVORABLE, GUSTY WINDS.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Hard landing, landing - flare/touchdown
  - weather condition - unfavorable wind (contributing factor)
  - weather condition - gusts (contributing factor)
- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - recovery from bounced landing - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - ditch
- Nose over, landing - roll

## Analysis

THE PILOT OF THE TR182 WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND IN WINDS THAT WERE VARIABLE AND GUSTY. SHE LANDED HARD, AND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED, DEPARTED THE RUNWAY, HIT A DITCH AND FLIPPED OVER.
