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 July 7, 1994, at 1900 Pacific daylight time (PDT), a tailwheel equipped Stinson 108-3, N6276M, veered off the runway and collided with trees while landing at Ione Municipal Airport, Ione, Washington. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant of the aircraft, was not injured, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and no flight plan was filed. There was no report of an ELT activation. According to the pilot, she experienced a considerable amount of turbulence during the flight, and was "extremely tired" upon arrival at Ione. While attempting to land at Ione Municipal Airport, the aircraft veered slightly to the left of the centerline, the pilot over-corrected to the right, and ran off the runway. The aircraft then hit a tree, causing substantial damage to the prop and right wing.
