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 PRIVATE PILOT WAS LANDING ON HIS PERSONAL GRASS AIRSTRIP, 1,500 FEET IN LENGTH. HE USUALLY LANDS UPHILL, HOWEVER, THE WIND FAVORED A DOWNHILL LANDING. WHILE ON FINAL, THE WIND SHIFTED, AND HE LANDED LONG. HE COULD NOT STOP THE AIRCRAFT PRIOR TO REACHING THE END OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT, AND NOSED OVER. THE PILOT ESTIMATED THAT THERE WAS A 10 KNOT TAILWIND WHEN HE LANDED.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT DURING THE LANDING, AND HIS FAILURE TO PERFORM A GO AROUND WHEN A LONG LANDING WAS IMMINENT. FACTORS WERE THE SUDDEN WINDSHIFT RESULTING IN A TAILWIND CONDITION, AND THE DOWNHILL LANDING CONDITIONS.

Full Narrative

On April 16, 1995, at 1700 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182R, N9331X, nosed over after a runway overrun at a private, grass airstrip in Conyers, Georgia. The aircraft was substantially damaged. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured. The aircraft was operated under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions existed at the time, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight. The flight originated in Williamson, Georgia, at 1630. The pilot reported that he usually lands uphill (to the west)on the 1,500 foot long grass airstrip, however the winds favored a downhill landing. On short final, landing toward the east, the winds shifted. The aircraft landed long, and perimeter trees prevented a go around attempt. After the aircraft departed the runway, it nosed over, resulting in structural damage. The pilot estimated the surface winds at the time of the accident to be out of the west, at 10 knots. An inspector from the Federal Aviation Administration visited the accident site, and inspected the aircraft. He reported that there were visible tire marks leading to the wreckage. The tire marks were about 312 feet in length.
