NTSB Factual Report

On May 6, 2005, about 1010 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182, N6205N veered off the left side of the runway and nosed over during the landing roll at the Camarillo Airport, Camarillo, California. Channel Islands Aviation operated the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot was not injured and the airplane was substantially damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. The local personal flight originated at Camarillo Airport about 1000.

The pilot stated in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) that he was doing touch-and-go's at Camarillo. Upon his second touch-and-go he made a good landing and added power. The plane veered to the left side of the runway and he lost control. The airplane continued off the left side of the runway and into wet dirt when it flipped over onto its back. The pilot stated to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator that he "applied all the right rudder possible" during the excursion off the runway, and that he "stayed with the power too long." The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during a touch-and-go landing. A contributing factor was the wet dirt at the runway edge.
