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 March 29, 1995, about 1205 eastern standard time, N38606, a Piper PA-28R, registered to the pilot, veered off the runway on landing at Kissimmee Airport, Kissimmee, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The private-rated pilot and his passenger reported no injuries and the airplane was substantially damaged. The flight had originated at the same airport about 1 hour earlier. The pilot stated while on landing touchdown on runway 06 the airplane veered to the right and the airplane crashed into a culvert breaking the right wing spar. The airplane was removed from the culvert and examined by a local aviation mechanic who stated he found the lower engine mounts at the pivot points that had failed during the landing. The failure would allow the engine and nosegear to angle off centerline.
