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 reported that he had been practicing touch and go landings for about 30 minutes. During the last takeoff, at about 500-600 feet AGL, the 'engine sputtered and quit.' After the loss of power, the pilot attempted to return to the runway, but landed 'just short' of the threshold in a ditch 'that was not visible from the air.' Inspection of the airplane after the accident by the owner revealed that the rubber fuel supply line from the fuel tanks was 'plugged' with rubber material; thereby, 'restricting the fuel' supply to the engine. The rubber material was physically similar to the rubber material of the fuel supply line. Further inspection of the fuel supply line revealed that it was deteriorated.

NTSB Probable Cause

the deterioration of the fuel supply line resulting in line blockage, fuel starvation, and subsequent loss of engine power. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.

Full Narrative

On December 27, 1995, approximately 1700 central standard time, a Meyers MY-200A, N484C, registered to, and operated by the pilot as a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of power after takeoff, from Madill Municipal Airport, Madill, Oklahoma. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The private pilot-in-command was not injured. The flight originated from Madill Municipal Airport, where it was in the local touch and go landing pattern for about 30 minutes prior to the accident. The pilot reported that, during his last takeoff, at about 500-600 feet above ground level, the "engine sputtered and quit." After the loss of power, the pilot attempted to return to the runway, but landed "just short" of the threshold in a ditch "that was not visible from the air." Both wings and the fuselage were structurally damaged during the landing. An inspection of the airplane after the accident by the owner, revealed that the rubber fuel supply line (from the fuel tanks) was "plugged" with rubber material; thereby, "restricting the fuel" supplied to the engine. The rubber material was physically similar to the rubber material of the fuel supply line. Further inspection of the fuel supply line revealed that it was deteriorated.
