    NTSB LJ 071017 Probable Cause

    Uploaded by

    The NTSB report summarizes a 2007 accident involving a Learjet 35A that crashed during landing at Renner Field in Goodland, KS. According to the flight crew, upon exiting the clouds 250 feet above ground, control of the plane was transferred to the non-flying pilot who overcorrected to the right and left, resulting in hard rolls. The plane impacted the ground in a right wing low attitude with substantial damage. Investigation found anomalies with the yaw damper and spoileron computer that would have increased pilot workload but not prevented control. The NTSB determined the probable cause was the pilot's failure to maintain control during landing.

    Airplane

    According to the flight crew, they exited the clouds approximately 250 feet above ground level, slightly left of the runway centerline.
    The pilot not flying took control of the airplane and adjusted the course to the right. The airplane rolled hard to the right and when
    the pilot corrected to the left, the airplane rolled hard to the left. The airplane impacted the ground in a right wing low attitude,
    resulting in substantial damage. Further examination and testing revealed anomalies with the yaw damper and spoileron computer. According
    to the manufacturer, these anomalies would not have prevented control of the airplane. Greater control wheel displacement and force to
    achieve a desired roll rate when compared with an operative spoileron system would be required. The result would be a slightly higher
    workload for the pilot, particularly in turbulence or crosswind conditions. An examination of the remaining systems revealed no anomalies.
