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.
Lubbock, TX
During takeoff the airplane did not reach liftoff speed, so the pilot aborted the takeoff. He reported that he 'was late in aborting' and ran off the end of the runway. The pilot informed the FAA inspector that he did not experience any mechanical difficulties with the aircraft. A passenger on board the airplane stated that the 'aircraft ran off departure end of runway into a plowed field and flipped over after nose hit the ground.'
the pilot's delay in aborting the takeoff.
On February 14, 1996, at 1415 central standard time, a Beech P35, N395T, registered to and operated by a private owner, was substantially damaged during an aborted takeoff from the Town & Country Airport, Lubbock, Texas. The pilot and two passengers sustained minor injuries. The flight was being conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91 as a personal cross country flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the cross country flight. During interviews conducted by a FAA Inspector, the pilot reported that during the takeoff roll the airplane did not reach liftoff speed so he aborted the takeoff. He further reported that he "was late in aborting and ran off the end of the runway." The pilot informed the FAA inspector that he did not experienced any mechanical difficulties with the aircraft. The pilot stated on NTSB form 6120.1/2 that the engine did not develop max power. A passenger on board the airplane stated that the "aircraft ran off departure end of runway into a plowed field and flipped over after [the] nose hit the ground." Inspection of the aircraft by the FAA inspector revealed damage to the right wing, rudder-vator, and fuselage.
