Accident & incident history

2024-12-11 Accident · Pearland, TX Damage: Substantial NTSB · CEN25LA059A
Reported aircraft: Cessna 182T
Probable cause: The AA-5 pilot s failure to maintain separation from the 182T during approach and landing, which resulted in a ground collision during the landing roll. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the AA-5 s electrical system, which prevented the AA-5 pilot from communicating with other aircraft in the traffic pattern, and the AA-5 pilot s poor judgment that the electrical system failure required an expedited landing when a preceding airplane occupied the runway.
