Probable cause & findings

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN TERRAIN CLEARANCE. A FACTOR WAS THE PILOT'S DECISION TO PERFORM A LOW PASS.

Factual narrative

DURING ARRIVAL AT THE SITE OF AN ANNUAL LOCAL FLY IN, THE PILOT MADE A LOW PASS DOWN THE RUNWAY. AS THE AIRPLANE FLEW ACROSS A ROAD AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY, THE MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUCK THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. AN UNEVENTFUL PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PERFORMED AT A NEARBY PRIVATE AIRPORT. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
