On July 12, 1984, a Beech F33A (registration N333TR) was involved in an aviation accident near Glen Canyon, UT. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
A pilot aborted landing after a gust of wind caused the aircraft to drift left. The aircraft left the runway, crossing rough terrain and collapsing all three landing gear. Density altitude was 7,615 feet.
Approach and Landing
The pilot reported using a slightly higher than normal approach speed with partial flap extension because of turbulence and wind gusts up to 25 knots. After crossing the threshold at 20 to 30 feet above ground level, the flare resulted in what the pilot described as a long float prior to touchdown.
Aborted Landing and Runway Excursion
Immediately after touchdown, a gust of wind from the right caused the aircraft to drift left. The pilot initiated an aborted landing as it became evident that the left wheel would leave the runway. The aircraft continued across rough terrain, collapsing all three landing gear before coming to rest.
Runway Evidence
Examination of the runway revealed skid marks where the aircraft departed the paved surface.
