There's another thread on this accident, but the lesson to be learned wasn't really brought out. For anyone not familiar here's a link to the NTSB accident report. http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=20160926X05905&key=1 Its a one page read, but for those who want to get right to the point - Here's the readers digest version. Low time in type pilot attempting to landing a Mooney on a "relatively" short runway. The pilot doesn't appreciate that flying 20 knots fast won't work, esp when the runway is short. Goes around and tries again - but this time attempts to force the plane down. For anyone who's been around the Mooney community for any time at all understands this is an all too common accident narrative within our community. When I help a low time in type pilot transition into a Mooney I tell them there are two things that they must do to fly the plane safely. (1) You must land on the mains first, never the nose wheel. Never force the plane on the ground. (2). Airspeed control and discipline on final approach is critical. On final approach, for every knot fast above target airspeed, add 100 feet to your landing distance. But we continue to see pilots make the same mistake time and time again. With very little transition training, pilots coming out of common cessna and piper trainers to fly a Mooney need to know not all airplanes fly the same. Cessna & Piper aircraft allow for so much sloppiness in airspeed control, these good trainers teach some really bad habits. When these bad habits translate over into a new aircraft, like a Mooney, often times pilots don't realize the sloppiness they've been able to get away with in other planes is setting them up for disaster. Here's a good article on the subject by Donald E. Kaye, Master CFI. Anyone giving transition training to new-to- pilots should understand this and teach to it. George
