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.

According to the pilot, he was executing a go-around from runway 27. About 200 feet AGL, the engine failed. He attempted a restart but was unsuccessful. The aircraft came to a stop about 1/4 mile beyond the departure end of the runway after rolling through a rough field. Inspection of the aircraft revealed no usable fuel in the left fuel tank, and the right fuel tank was full. The fuel selector was found in the right tank position.

NTSB Probable Cause

a loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.

Full Narrative

On January 14, 1996, at 1330 central standard time, a Beech 35-A33, N1111Z, registered to a private owner and operated by Ray's Flying Service, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of power during a go around at Weiser Air Park, Houston, Texas. The private pilot and his three passengers were not injured. The aircraft was being operated under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal cross country flight that originated near Matagorda, Texas, at 1230. According to the pilot, while landing on runway 27, he experienced a gust of wind that caused the airplane to deviate from the centerline. The pilot elected to perform a go around. About 200 feet AGL, the engine lost power. The pilot reported he attempted a restart, but was unsuccessful. He executed a forced landing to a field. During the landing roll, the airplane impacted the curb of an access road separating the landing gear from the fuselage. The airplane came to rest about 1/4 mile beyond the departure end of runway 27. The FAA inspector reported that when he arrived on the scene of the accident, an inspection of the airplane revealed the right fuel tank was full, and the left fuel tank contained no usable fuel. Further inspection revealed that the fuel selector was in the right tank position. The propeller, flaps, and wing leading edges were all damaged. The engine damage was such that an engine run was not performed.
