NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On April 16, 1996, about 1456 eastern daylight time, a Hawker Siddeley FB-60, N222CH, registered to a private owner operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 aerial demonstration flight, crashed on landing rollout at the Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, Lakeland, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The commercial pilot was fatally injured. The flight originated from Lakeland, Florida, about 46 minutes before the accident. Witnesses observed the airplane land on runway 27 with a crosswind from the right. The airplane touched down on the main gear and decelerated to a three-point attitude. The airplane was observed to veer to the right and the tail section became airborne. No change in engine noise was heard. The airplane went off the right side of the runway, nosed over and came to rest inverted. A review of video tape shown on Channel 8 television of Tampa, Florida, revealed that N222CH's left aileron was up, flaps full down, and both elevator surfaces were up on the landing rollout, and during the accident sequence. See NTSB Specialist Report of Investigation. PERSONNEL INFORMATION The pilot forwarded a letter of application to the FAA Fort Worth FSDO, requesting a Letter of Authorization (LOA) be issued by the FAA designating him as a pilot-in-command of a Hawker FB-60 in September 1995. He indicated in the application that he had flown a two-place Hawker Sea Fury for 1 hour. In addition, a copy of the Hawker Training Plan, listing the ground training and solo flight training r
Probable cause
The pilot's improper use of brakes and ailerons, during the landing rollout with a right crosswind, which resulted in a loss of directional control and subsequent nose over. Factors relating to the accident were: the crosswind and the pilot's lack of experience in the Hawker FB-60 airplane.
