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.

Full Narrative

On Saturday, May 21, 1994, at 1437 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150M, N3335V, piloted by Robert G. Gannon, and registered to Sky Park, Inc., sustained substantial damage during a forced landing in Addison, New York. The pilot and passenger received minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. The flight was operated under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot departed Cleveland, Ohio, destined for Binghamton, New York. During the flight, he became concerned about the fuel supply; therefore, he changed his destination to a closer airport near Elmira, New York. Before he could land, the engine quit. The pilot performed a forced landing to a field; however, he overshot the field and impacted trees. A Federal Aviation Administration Inspector, Lauren C. Dates, examined the wreckage and observed no fuel in the left tank and about 3 gallons in the right tank. The pilot had a total flight time of 90 hours, with 5.3 hours in the Cessna 150. He had flown a total of 3.5 hours in the last 90 days, all of which was in this make and model.
