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 pilot stated that when he applied back pressure to rotate during the takeoff roll on runway 36, the stall warning horn sounded. He lowered the nose and the airplane settled onto the runway. He continued the takeoff roll and when he rotated a second time the stall warning horn sounded again. He realized that the airplane would not fly so he aborted the takeoff. The airplane bounced and the pilot applied brakes to avoid exiting the runway onto the highway that crossed the end of the runway. He stated that he intentionally swerved the airplane, and the airplane exited the runway and collided with a fence. There were four occupants on board the airplane. The pilot reported that the temperature was 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and there was 43 gallons of fuel on board the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's delay in aborting the takeoff.

Full Narrative

On August 13, 1995, at 1101 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182F, N3516U, collided with a fence during an aborted takeoff at Freeway Airport, Mitchellville, Maryland. The certificated private pilot and the three passengers were not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed. The personal flight was conducted under 14 CFR 91. The intended destination was Ocean City, Maryland. The pilot reported that as the airplane accelerated on the takeoff roll on runway 36, when he applied back pressure to rotate, the stall warning horn sounded. He stated that he lowered the nose and the airplane settled onto the runway. The pilot stated that he continued the takeoff roll and rotated a second time. The stall warning horn sounded again, so the pilot aborted the takeoff. During the aborted takeoff the airplane touched down hard and the pilot stated that he reduced the power to idle and applied the brakes. The pilot stated that a highway crossed the end of the runway so he swerved the airplane to avoid exiting the runway onto the highway. The airplane collided with tall grass and a fence. The pilot reported that the temperature was 88 degrees Fahrenheit, and there was 43 gallons of fuel on board the airplane.
