On June 1, 2001, a Cessna TR182 (registration N4602S) was involved in an aviation accident near Boise, ID. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The pilot's failure to maintain control during a crosswind landing, resulting in veering off the runway. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
Aircraft veered off runway during landing rollout in crosswinds, striking a light and the ground with the propeller.
What happened
The pilot reported that during the landing roll on runway 28L with a 90 degree crosswind, the aircraft encountered a gust of wind. The aircraft veered to the side of the runway and the right wing contacted a runway edge light and the propeller contacted the ground. At the time of the accident, the airport was reporting winds from 180 degrees at nine knots, gusting to 16 knots.
Findings
The 90 degree crosswind conditions contributed to the loss of directional control during the critical phase of landing rollout. The contact with the runway edge light and subsequent ground impact with the propeller indicate a significant deviation from the intended flight path.
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain control during a crosswind landing, resulting in veering off the runway.
