Aviation safety reports, made easier to study

NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.

The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.

The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.

The student pilot reported that the approach and landing were normal. Shortly after touchdown, the aircraft veered to the left. He overcorrected and the aircraft veered to the right, toward an eight foot high snow bank located along the runway edge. He elected to initiate a go-around. Shortly after becoming airborne, the aircraft's main landing gear collided with the snow bank. The aircraft nosed over onto its back, approximately 15 feet east of the runway. The pilot stated that the wind appeared to be stronger than initially reported by the tower.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control after touchdown. Factors contributing to the accident were a snow bank along the runway edge and a crosswind.

Full Narrative

On March 11, 1999, about 1215 mountain standard time, a Cessna 182R, N1622E, registered to and operated by the student pilot, was substantially damaged when it collided with a snow bank during a go-around maneuver at the Friedman Memorial Airport, Hailey, Idaho. The aircraft was being operated as a 14 CFR 91 training flight. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local training flight. The student pilot, the sole occupant, was uninjured. There was no fire and no report of an ELT actuating. The flight originated from the Friedman Memorial Airport approximately thirty minutes prior to the accident. The pilot reported that the approach and landing to runway 31 were normal. Shortly after touchdown on runway 31, the aircraft veered to the left. The pilot stated that he overcorrected and the aircraft veered to the right, toward an eight foot high snow bank located along the runway edge. The pilot elected to initiate a go-around, and shortly after becoming airborne, the aircraft's main landing gear collided with the snow bank. The aircraft nosed over onto its back, approximately 15 feet east of the runway. The pilot stated that the runway was dry at the time of the accident and that the wind appeared to be from approximately 220 degrees and stronger than initially reported by the tower. At 1232, Hailey weather reported winds from 170 degrees at five knots. At the time of the accident, the student pilot had accumulated approximately 14 hours of dual instruction, and one hour of solo flight in a Cessna 182.
