Crosswind pushes plane to land on taxiway — General Aviation News


This is an excerpt from a report made to the Aviation Safety Reporting System. The narrative is written by the pilot, rather than FAA or NTSB officials. To maintain anonymity, many details, such as aircraft model or airport, are often scrubbed from the reports.

We experienced an incident during landing.

I was the pilot in command. In my flight, I was accompanied by my safety pilot.

During the approach for Runway XX, the wind reported 040 13G 17 (direct crosswind). During the landing phase, the Cessna 150 was blowing to the left but I swiftly applied full power and attempted to go-around.

Due to the wind constantly pushing the aircraft to the left, the aircraft underperformed during the climb. Hearing the stall sound, I noticed that the aircraft was unable to climb, so I rapidly lowered the nose and landed on the taxiway. The landing was successful, with no harm to either the aircraft or anyone else.

My safety pilot and I talked about the incident and we learned a lot.

We could avoid this issue by landing at a different airport due to the strong direct crosswind at ZZZ Airport.

Even while mistakes are inevitable, I think this experience gave me important insights into how to prevent them by being extremely cautious and making better decisions.
