Narrative
On February 5, 2000, at 1620 hours Hawaiian standard time, a Piper
PA-28-161, N140ND, drifted off runway 4L and collided with runway signs
while landing at the Honolulu International Airport, Honolulu, Hawaii.
The aircraft was owned and operated by the University of North Dakota,
and was on a student solo cross-country instructional flight under 14
CFR Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Visual meteorological
conditions prevailed and a VFR flight plan was filed. The airplane
sustained substantial damage. The student pilot, the sole occupant,
was not injured. The flight originated at Honolulu on the morning of
the accident as a round robin cross-country flight with en route stops
at Molokai and Lanai, Hawaii.
At the time of the pilot's approach and
landing the winds were from 170 degrees at 8 knots. The pilot reported
that the airplane drifted to the left side of the runway during the
landing flare and the left wing hit runway signs. The pilot stated
there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.
