Inverness, FL
The student was conducting a landing to Inverness' runway 19, and after 2 balked landing attempts due to excessive airspeed, his third attempt resulted in a bounced landing and an excursion off the right runway edge. The airplane continued through the infield grass until encountering a depression that caused the propeller and nose landing gear to dig into the earth, resulting in a noseover. There were no mechanical defects with the airplane, precrash, and the student was not injured.
a loss of directional control on landing due to the pilot's failure to execute a proper flare and recovery from the resultant bounced landing, causing the airplane to depart the runway, enter the uneven grass infield, and sustain a nose over.
On November 4, 2000, about 1500 eastern standard time, a Cessna 172P, N54729, registered to Airline Training Academy, Inc., operating as a Title 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight, crashed while attempting a landing at the Inverness Airport, Inverness, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a VFR flight plan was filed. The student pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured, and the airplane received substantial damage. The flight originated from Orlando's Executive Airport about 1 hour 14 minutes before the accident. According to the student, he made two balked landing go-arounds because he thought he was too fast. His third landing attempt resulted in a bounced landing and an excursion off the right side of the runway. A depression in the grass area caused the propeller to dig in, and the airplane sustained a nose over. According to an FAA inspector, the pilot landed the airplane on runway 19 at Inverness and departed the runway to the right at about a 30-degree angle. A depression in the ground caused the nose landing gear to dig in, and the airplane flipped upside down. The airplane received substantial damage.
