# NTSB SEA99LA145: Cessna 182J, N2808F, Yellow Pine, ID, August 23, 1999 - Type: NTSB accident investigation - Classification: Accident · Minor injuries · Limited investigation · Final report - Date: August 22, 1999, 19:24 local (Aug 23, 1999, 01:24 UTC) - Place: Yellow Pine, ID - Coordinates: 45.020717, -115.5205 (estimated) - Nearby events: https://openairdocs.org/map.md?lat=45.0207&lon=-115.5205&mi=10 - Phase of flight: [Landing](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-phases/550) (OpenAirDocs' grouping) - Highest injury: Minor injuries - Injuries: 1 minor, 1 uninjured - Status: Completed, report November 2, 2000 - Report: Approved by Office Director - NTSB case key (mKey): 47173 - NTSB case page: https://web.ntsb.gov/investigations/?ntsbnumber=SEA99LA145 - NTSB report (PDF, downloads): https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/47173/pdf - Page: https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/SEA99LA145 ## Probable cause Misjudged approach resulting in landing long. Factors include an intentional ground-loop, excessive airspeed and an embankment. ## Analysis The aircraft crossed the landing threshold a little high and floated down the runway before touching down. When the aircraft touched down (approximately midfield), the pilot applied maximum braking and intentionally ground-looped in an effort to stop. The aircraft skidded off the end of a 1,500 foot runway, down an 85 foot embankment, and nosed over. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the firewall and both wings. There were no mechanical malfunctions or failures reported by the pilot at the time of the accident. ## Factual narrative On August 22, 1999, at 1924 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 182J, N2808F, registered to and operated by the pilot, was substantially damaged during landing rollout at Krassel Airfield, located approximately 10 miles northwest of Yellow Pine, Idaho. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the 14CFR91 personal/pleasure flight. The private pilot was uninjured, however his passenger received minor injuries. The flight originated from Johnson Creek Airfield, Yellow Pine, Idaho, approximately 20 minutes prior to the accident. There was no fire and no report of ELT activation. The pilot stated he flew a straight-in approach to the airport and was "cautious not to let the airspeed get too low in anticipation of a possible down draft". He stated that the aircraft crossed the landing threshold a little high and the aircraft "seemed to float for a long time" before it touched down. When the aircraft touched down (approximately midfield), the pilot applied maximum braking and intentionally ground-looped the aircraft in an effort to stop. The aircraft skidded off the 1,500 foot runway, down an 85 foot embankment, and nosed over. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the firewall and both wings. There were no mechanical malfunctions or failures reported by the pilot at the time of the accident. ## Sequence of events In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf). - On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll - airport facilities,runway overrun area - drop-off/descending embankment (contributing factor) - planned approach - misjudged, pilot in command (cause) - proper touchdown point - not attained, pilot in command (cause) - ground loop/swerve - discontinued, pilot in command (contributing factor) - airspeed - exceeded, pilot in command (contributing factor) - Nose over, landing - roll ## Aircraft - Registration: [N2808F](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N2808F-2002-04-04), registration cancelled 2002-04-04, S/N 18256908, built 1966 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: Cessna 182J - Registry model: [Cessna 182J](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-182j) (registry code 2072722) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental O-470 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-o-470-series) (registry code 17026, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 18256908 - Airframe hours: 2839 - Engines: Continental O-470-R 230 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Registered owner: Michael H.

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.
