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.

DURING AN AERIAL APPLICATION FLIGHT, THE PILOT FLEW UNDER A WIRE TO CROSS A ROAD AND TRANSITION TO ANOTHER FIELD. HE OBSERVED A VEHICLE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD; HOWEVER, HE THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE CLEAR AS HE CROSSED THE ROAD. AS HE CONTINUED, THE RIGHT WING OF THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE RIGHT REAR OF THE CATTLE TRUCK. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE AND THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED THE GROUND.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE PILOT MISJUDGED CLEARANCE FROM THE VEHICLE.

Full Narrative

On October 3, 1994, at 1030 central daylight time, a Grumman G- 164B, N6676K, was substantially damaged while maneuvering near Oak Grove, Louisiana. The commercial pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the aerial application flight. According to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot was crossing a road in order to transition to another field. He flew under a wire while crossing the road and struck a cattle truck and descended out of control to ground impact, resulting in the deformation of all four wings, the propeller, and the left main landing gear. The aircraft "could not maintain altitude" and the pilot landed in the field. The pilot stated in his Pilot/Operator Report (NTSB Form 3120.1/2) that "it appeared to me the traffic would be well out of the way by the time I got to the road." He further stated that he "couldn't go up because of the wires."
