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 TOUCHDOWN, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR BRAKE LOCKED UP DUE TO A GUMMY DEPOSIT THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO RELEASE. AS THE LANDING ROLL CONTINUED, THE AIRCRAFT SLOWLY NOSED OVER.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE JAMMING OF THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR BRAKE DUE TO AN ACCUMULATION OF A GUMMY DEPOSIT.

Full Narrative

On August 28, 1994, approximately 1130 mountain daylight time (MDT), a Boeing A75N1, N73617, nosed over during the landing roll at Caldwell Industrial Airport, Caldwell, Idaho. The commercial pilot and his passenger received minor injuries, and the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The personal pleasure flight, which departed the same location about five minutes earlier, was being operated in visual meteorological conditions at the time of the accident. No flight plan had been filed, and there was no report of an ELT activation. According to the pilot, the right brake locked up during the landing roll, and as the landing roll progressed, the aircraft slowly nosed over on the runway. It was later discovered that there was a gummy deposit on the right brake mechanism which would not allow the brake to release.
