Accident & incident history

2000-09-26 Accident · Wheeling, IL Damage: Substantial NTSB · CHI00LA309
Reported aircraft: Cessna 172P — a different aircraft that carried the N98629 registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The student pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind that resulted in the failure to maintain directional control of the airplane. Factors associated with the accident were the crosswind, the ditch, the student's lack of experience, and the poor in-flight planning decision to land on a runway with a direct crosswind.
