Headset cords and rudder peddles Apparently a private
pilot was landing a C-172 when the plane "suddenly exited the runway to the left
for no apparent reason." The pilot reported that, "Once off the runway the
airplane nosed down and came to a stop." There was no known mechanical
anomalies with the airplane prior to the accident. The aircraft sustained
structural damage to the left wing, landing gear attachments, and fuselage. An
airport police officer who interviewed the pilot at the accident site reported
the pilot told him he
was unable to use the rudder pedals because his
headset cord was wrapped around them. |
