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 THE TAKEOFF GROUND ROLL FROM THE 75-FOOT WIDE GRASS RUNWAY BORDERED BY 7-FOOT TALL CORN ON BOTH SIDES, THE PILOT ABORTED THE TAKEOFF DUE TO INADEQUATE ACCELERATION. THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE CORN. THE AIRPLANE CAME TO REST WITH THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR SEPARATED. THE GRASS WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 4-6 INCHES TALL AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

NTSB Probable Cause

FAILURE OF THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE WING AND THE CORN CROP AT THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY DURING THE ABORTED TAKEOFF FROM THE GRASS RUNWAY.

Full Narrative

On June 27, 1995, about 1015 central daylight time, a Piper PA-38-112, N2362N, registered to and operated by MC Aviation, Inc., experienced a loss of control during an aborted takeoff from a private airstrip near Agricola, Mississippi, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the private-rated pilot and one passenger were not injured. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. The pilot was attempting to take off from a 75-foot wide grass strip bordered on both sides by about 7-foot tall corn. The pilot elected to abort the takeoff due to inadequate acceleration during which the airplane veered to the left and the left wing of the airplane contacted the corn. The right main landing gear separated from the airplane during the loss of control. The grass on the runway was cut after the accident; however, before it was cut the estimated height was about 4-6 inches. The pilot further stated that there was no airframe mechanical failure or malfunction.
