November 10, 2015 ERAU Aviation Safety Department 7 Solo XC dispatched late morning DAB – GNV – XFL – DAB Skipped XFL during return leg Two landing attempts on Runway 16 at DAB o First try – go around o Second try – prop and wingtip strike Case Study #2
November 10, 2015 ERAU Aviation Safety Department 8 Student was uninjured Airplane sustained damage only to propeller No property damage Airplane did not depart paved runway surface Student properly certificated and endorsed Airplane properly certificated, inspected, and airworthy with no defects Wind was 090 at 11 during incident landing Runway 7L-25R was closed Facts
November 10, 2015 ERAU Aviation Safety Department 9 Both approaches were stabilized with proper crab angle First landing try was premature, flat, right of centerline, bounced, resulted in go around Second landing try was also flat farther right of centerline with the following attitude: o Pitch – 0.77 degree nose up o Roll – 4.2 degrees right o Yaw – 20.6 degrees left G1000 Flight Data Logger
November 10, 2015 ERAU Aviation Safety Department 10 The touchdown created a large side load on the right side Side load caused the airplane to roll right and pitch down Prop strike occurred with following attitude: o Pitch – degrees nose down o Roll – degrees right o Yaw – 24.3 degrees left Prop strike lasted for about 1 second Control was regained before edge of runway G1000 Flight Data Logger

November 10, 2015 ERAU Aviation Safety Department 12 Improper crosswind correction o Left rudder and right aileron was applied, the opposite would have been correct Large side load and lack of back pressure made situation worse Crosswind exceeded student’s capability Findings
