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.

WHILE LANDING ON A 1,700 FOOT LONG GRASS AIRSTRIP, THE PILOT 'MISJUDGED' THE LANDING AND LANDED 'LONG.' BRAKING ACTION WAS 'POOR' DUE TO THE 'FRESH MOWN' GRASS AND THE AIRCRAFT SUBSEQUENTLY DEPARTED THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK A FENCE. THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS 3,700 FEET.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT. FACTORS WERE THE MOWN GRASS AND THE HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE.

Full Narrative

On July 13, 1995, at 1815 central daylight time, a Cessna 210D, N375HW, was substantially damaged during landing near Bentonville, Arkansas. The private pilot and one passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. The flight departed Fayetteville, Arkansas (FYV) at 1550 and no flight plan was filed. In the enclosed Pilot/Operator report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2), the pilot stated that he "misjudged the landing" and "landed long" on the 1,700 foot long grass airstrip. He further reported that braking action was "poor" due to the grass having been "fresh[ly] mown." Subsequently, the aircraft struck a fence off of the departure end of the runway. The density altitude at the time of the accident was calculated to be 3,700 feet.
