Tomball, TX, USA

Aircraft #1

N1013J

Rockwell 112

Analysis

The pilot reported that, while attempting to land on runway 17R, the airplane encountered a crosswind and began “crabbing to the right.” He applied full power to go around, and the airplane lifted off, but it was then “pushed,” and right main landing gear (MLG) impacted a sign. The left wing then hit the runway, followed by the left MLG and nosewheel. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wing spars and the left aileron. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The recorded wind at the time of the accident was from 080° at 9 knots. The pilot estimated that the wind gusted to 22 knots; there were no wind gusts recorded around the time of the accident.

Probable Cause and Findings

The pilot did not maintain control of the airplane during the landing and subsequent go around.
