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.

AFTER DEPARTURE, THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER FOR THE LEFT PROPELLER WAS NOT OPERATING. HE DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE FLIGHT WHEN HE FOUND THAT HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE LEFT AND RIGHT PROPELLERS IN SYNCHRONIZATION AT EITHER FULL OR CRUISE POWER. THE PILOT EXPERIENCED THE SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEM AGAIN WHEN HE REDUCED THE POWER IN PREPARATION FOR LANDING. WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH, THE PILOT BECAME PREOCCUPIED WITH THE PROBLEM AND IMPACTED TREES.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with trees. Factors in the accident were the trees, the pilot's operation with known deficiencies in equipment, and the pilot's diverted attention.

Full Narrative

On July 6, 1994, about 1140 central daylight time, a Beech Baron 58, N625P, was substantially damaged when it struck trees on approach to land at Kings Land O'Lakes Airport, Land O'Lakes, Wisconsin. The pilot received minor injuries. The 14 CFR Part 91 flight originated in Timmerman, Wisconsin, on an IFR flight plan which was cancelled prior to the initiation of the approach. The flight operated in visual meteorological conditions. According to the pilot's statement, after departing Timmerman he realized that the tachometer for the left propeller was not operating. He found that he was able to keep the left and right propellers in synchronization at either full or cruise power, so he decided to continue the flight. As he began his approach to land at Kings Land O'Lakes Airport, he again experienced the synchronization problem when he reduced the power. While on final approach, he became preoccupied with the problem and impacted trees.
