Accident & incident history

2002-02-08 Accident · Novato, CA Damage: Substantial NTSB · LAX02FA075
Reported aircraft: Cessna 525A
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to achieve the proper touchdown point and his failure to retract the flaps and spoilers during an attempted landing abort, which resulted in a landing overrun. Also causal was the pilot's decision to attempt a landing in wind conditions that exceeded the landing performance capability of the airplane for the runway selected.
