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 pilots had just completed a second power off stall and climbed back to 2,500 feet agl when the engine suddenly quit. While making a forced landing on a road the aircraft struck a pole and crashed into a swamp. After the accident the airframe and engine fuel systems were found to contain uncontaminated fuel. The engine was placed on a test stand and operated to full power with no evidence of failure or malfunction. Icing probability charts indicate the aircraft was operating in conditions conducive to serious carburetor icing at cruise power.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS.

Full Narrative

On February 14, 1994, about 1745 central standard time, a Cessna 150L, N10797, registered to Romac, Inc., collided with a pole while making a forced landing on a road near Ocean Springs, Mississippi, while on a 14 CFR Part 91, instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the commercial-rated flight instructor and student pilot were not injured. The flight originated at Ocean Springs, Mississippi, on February 14, 1994, at 1730. The flight instructor stated they had just completed a second power off stall and climbed back to the originating altitude of 2,500 feet when the engine failed suddenly. While attempting a forced landing on a road the left wing contacted a power pole and the aircraft descended uncontrolled and came to rest in a marsh adjacent to the road. Postcrash examination of the aircraft and engine by FAA inspectors indicated the airframe and engine fuel systems contained uncontaminated fuel. The engine was placed on a test stand and operated to full power with no malfunctions. Review of carburetor icing probability charts indicated the aircraft was operating in conditions conducive to serious icing at cruise power.
