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.
Lansing, KS
THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE OBTAINED 2200 RPM DURING THE ENGINE RUN-UP PRIOR TO TAKEOFF. HE STATED THE AIRPLANE DID NOT SEEM TO ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD HAVE DURING THE TAKEOFF RUN AND AS HE PULLED BACK TO FLY IN GROUND EFFECT, HE NOTICED THE AIRSPEED WAS 40 MPH. WHEN THE AIRPLANE REACHED A PREDETERMINED POINT ON THE RUNWAY, HE DECIDED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF. HE PULLED THE THROTTLE BACK AND THE AIRPLANE IMMEDIATELY VEERED LEFT. THE AIRPLANE SKIDDED SIDEWAYS ALONG THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND DRAGGED THE WING BEFORE COMING TO REST. A POSTACCIDENT INSPECTION OF THE AIRPLANE AND ENGINE WAS PERFORMED AND NO ANOMALIES WERE NOTED.
the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an aborted takeoff. A factor related to the accident was the delay in aborting the takeoff
On September 19, 1994, at 1850 central daylight time, a Cessna 150, N1105Y, sustained substantial damage during an aborted takeoff from a private airstrip in Lansing, Kansas. The private pilot reported no injuries. The 14 CFR Part 91 local flight operated in visual meteorological conditions without flight plan. The pilot stated he taxied the airplane to the north end of the grass runway in preparation for takeoff. Once at the end of the runway, he performed an engine run up and stated all checks were normal. Ready to takeoff, he applied full throttle. The pilot reported, "The did not seem to be accelerating properly I pulled back on the yoke to fly in ground effect and checked the speed which was 40 mph." When the airplane reached a predetermined point on the runway, he decided to abort the takeoff. He pulled the throttle to idle and the airplane immediately veered hard to the left. The airplane skidded sideways along the left side of the runway before coming to rest. A postaccident examination of the airplane's engine was performed by an FAA inspector. The engine was successfully started and run up to 1900 RPM without incident. The engine was not run up to a higher RPM due to the extent of damage to the airplane. No mechanical anomalies were observed. Flight control integrity was confirmed.
