NTSB Factual Report

On January 29, 2001, at about 1125 eastern standard time, a Cessna 152, N152DF, registered to International Wings, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight crashed on landing rollout at the Massey Ranch Airpark, Edgewater, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The student pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Massey Ranch Airpark about 25 minutes before the accident.

The student pilot stated he had been conducting touch-and-go landings with a crosswind. On touchdown he took out the crosswind correction. The airplane started to veer to the left, departed the runway into the grass, collided with a ridge, became airborne, and collided with the ground in a nose-down attitude.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control on landing rollout with a crosswind. This resulted in the airplane departing the runway, colliding with a berm/ridge, becoming airborne, and colliding with the terrain in a nose down attitude.
