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 while performing a final landing, following several touch-and-go landings, the airplane encountered a tail wind during approach. The landing touchdown was reported as firm with a bounce, and the pilot elected to go-around. He said that when power was applied, the nose pitched down, and the aircraft nosed over. The pilot reported the wind was variable north to south at 10 gusting 20 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions and failure to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. The adverse wind condition was a related factor.

Full Narrative

On February 24, 1996, at 1520 mountain standard time, a Cessna TC-210N, N1775U, sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during landing roll at Centennial Airport, Englewood, Colorado. The private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for this local personal flight operating under Title 14 CFR Part 91, and no flight plan was filed. The flight departed at 1430. According to information provided by the FAA, the aircraft exited the left side of runway 17R, and nosed over near midfield. According to the pilot's written statement, he was doing touch and go landings and the weather began to deteriorate with increasing variable wind. The pilot said he decided to make a final landing and during the approach the aircraft encountered a tail wind and some turbulence. The pilot reported his touch down was "harder than normal" and the aircraft bounced. When the pilot attempted to execute a go-around, he said the aircraft pitched nose down resulting in the damage. The aircraft nosed over and came to rest inverted. At the time of the accident, reported wind was from 230 degrees at seven knots. The pilot reported the wind to be "variable N/S at 10 knots with gusts to 20 knots."
