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 AIRCRAFT OVERRAN RUNWAY 12 AND NOSED OVER. THE STUDENT PILOT LANDED MIDFIELD, WITH 20 DEGREES OF FLAPS AND AN AIRSPEED 10 KNOTS TOO FAST. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE WIND LIFTED THE PLANE AND THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO STOP. THE PILOT THEN REALIZED THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINING AND SHE ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND. THE AIRPLANE DID NOT LIFTOFF BEFORE REACHING THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND HIT SOFT SOIL. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER. THERE WERE NO REPORTED MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE AIRPLANE.
the failure of the student pilot to: 1) maintain the proper approach speed; 2) attain the proper touchdown point; and 3) her delayed decision to execute a go-around.
On June 28, 1995, at 1320 hours Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 150M, N63264, overran runway 12 and nosed over at Turlock Municipal Airport, Turlock, California. The airplane was substantially damaged and the student pilot received minor injuries. The flight originated from Sutter County Airport, Yuba City, California. The flight was the first leg of a planned four-leg cross-country. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The student pilot indicated that she had landed midfield, with 20 degrees of flaps and an airspeed 10 knots too fast. She also mentioned that after touchdown, the wind lifted the plane and she hit the brakes. After realizing that there was not enough room to stop, she attempted a go-around. The airplane exited the asphalt runway and hit soft soil, causing the nose gear to collapse. The airplane nosed over and came to rest on its back. The student pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane.
