Airport Area Accident History:
Accident occurred Friday, August 31, 2007 in Reedley, CA
Probable Cause Approval Date: 2/28/2008
Aircraft: Luscombe 8A, registration: N1544K
Injuries: 1 Uninjured.
The pilot made a normal landing approach and touched down on the first 1/4 of the upsloping runway. He stated that he flared for landing and decided to allow the airplane to settle to the ground in a three point attitude. After touchdown, the airplane began to veer to the right. As he corrected back to the runway, the airplane began to oscillate and then ground looped. The pilot reported that if he had done a wheel landing and held the tail off the ground until the speed had dissipated, he would have had more time to recognize a potential ground loop situation and react accordingly. He further stated that there were no mechanical problems with the airplane. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control on landing. ===
Accident occurred Monday, September 22 , 2003 in Reedley, CA
Probable Cause Approval Date: 12/30/2003
Aircraft: Cessna 150F, registration: N3093X
Injuries: 2 Uninjured.
The airplane collided with a runway end identifier light after landing short of the runway, which resulted in a nose gear collapse and a propeller strike. During final, the sink rate became excessive and the pilot added power and decreased the pitch attitude on the airplane. The airspeed decreased rapidly so he applied full power and nose down pitch attitude. The airplane settled toward the runway in a level attitude and touched down left of the runway centerline, about 25 feet short of the runway. During the landing roll, the nose gear impacted a runway end identifier light. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: the pilot's failure to maintain the proper glide path and airspeed during final, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/mush.
