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.

THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR STATED HE WAS DEMONSTRATING A SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF TO THE STUDENT. SHORTLY AFTER THE AIRPLANE BECAME AIRBORNE, TWO DEER-SIZED ANIMALS APPEARED ON THE RUNWAY IN FRONT OF THE AIRPLANE. THE CFI ABORTED THE TAKEOFF AND STEERED THE AIRPLANE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID THE ANIMALS. BRAKING ACTION WAS POOR ON THE ROUGH, MOIST RUNWAY AND THE AIRPLANE SLID FURTHER TO THE RIGHT COLLIDING WITH AN OLD TIRE USED TO MARK THE SIDE OF THE TURF RUNWAY.

NTSB Probable Cause

AN EVASIVE MANEUVER TO AVOID COLLISION WITH ANIMALS.

Full Narrative

On November 22, 1994, about 1600 eastern standard time, a Cessna 152, N67390, registered to Demetrio Bravo, collided with a runway marker during takeoff at Indiantown Airport, Indiantown, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the commercial-rated flight instructor and dual-student were not injured. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. The flight instructor stated that he was demonstrating a soft field takeoff to the student. During the takeoff two deer sized animals appeared on the runway and one proceeded toward the aircraft. He aborted the takeoff and deviated to the right of center line to avoid collision with the animal. He held elevator control to keep the nose wheel off the turf runway and braking action was poor on the rough runway. Maintaining directional control was difficult and the aircraft hydroplaned on the moisture in the ground. The aircraft drifted to the right and collided with an old tire which was used to mark the runway. The tire damaged the aircraft.
