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 private pilot taxied the airplane onto the active runway and applied full power to start the takeoff roll. He reported everything appeared normal as he pulled the airplane off the runway when it felt like it was lifting off. The pilot stated the airplane seemed to mush and did not want to climb or gain airspeed. At approximately 50 feet AGL, he dropped the nose in an attempt to gain airspeed. The airplane pulled to the left and then settled onto an adjacent wheat field. After the initial impact, the airplane skidded and nosed over. No preimpact mechanical anomalies were reported by the pilot.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's failure to obtain sufficient airspeed prior to liftoff. A factor in the accident was the pilot's lack of total experience in type of airplane.

Full Narrative

On May 11, 1994, at 0800 central daylight time, a Piper 28-140 airplane, N7313F, sustained substantial damage when it ran into an adjacent wheat field during an attempted takeoff from the Anthony Airport in Anthony, Kansas. The pilot reported no injuries, the two passengers reported minor injuries. The flight operated under 14 CFR 91 without a flight plan in visual meteorological conditions. In a written statement, the pilot states he taxied the airplane onto the active runway and started the takeoff roll. He states, "everything was normal, pulled the aircraft off as it felt like it was lifting off. The aircraft just seemed to mush and did not want to climb or gain airspeed." At approximately 50 feet, the pilot states he dropped the nose in an attempt to obtain airspeed. The airplane pulled to the left and then settled down onto an adjacent wheat field at the north end of the runway. After the initial impact, the airplane skidded and nosed over. The pilot had accumulated approximately nine hours of flight time in this make and model airplane. Within the preceding 90 days, the pilot had obtained approximately three hours of flight time. No preimpact mechanical anomalies were reported by the pilot.
