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 June 22, 1994, about 2000 eastern daylight time, N3627V, a Cessna 140, nosed over during takeoff on runway 24 at Wykoop Airport, Mount Vernon, Ohio. Visual meteorological conditions existed. The pilot, and one passenger were not injured. The airplane was substantial damaged. The local flight was operated under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot reportedly stated, "In proceeding down the runway on take off in attempting to lift the tail I over controlled the tail controls. The tail lifted too high and I corrected the controls and got behind the controls of the tail's inputs. Because of this, there was a propeller strike which caused the plane to roll over the nose."
