CESSNA 182M near Angwin, CA — 2010-05-03

Probable cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind resulting in the loss of directional control during the landing roll.

NTSB narrative

The pilot reported that he was approaching runway 16 to land when the wind shifted to a 90-degree crosswind. The pilot continued the approach and landed; however, during the roll out the airplane encountered a wind gust and was blown to the right. The pilot stated the airplane departed the right side of the 50-foot wide runway and collided with a ditch. The nose gear collapsed and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine firewall and right wing. No pre-accident mechanical deficiencies with the airplane were reported.
