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 said that after landing on runway 33 and during rollout, the wind shifted and lifted the left wing. The right wing struck the ground and then the propeller. He said he was unable to control the airplane because this was a taildragger and it did not have a wheel lock. The pilot stated the accident could have been prevented if during the rollout he had turned the airplane into the wind.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions.

Full Narrative

On June 15, 1996, at 1430 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 180, N7783A, was substantially damaged during landing roll at the Oswego County Airport (N00), Fulton, New York. The certificated private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the local personal flight that originated at N00 approximately 1330. No flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. In the NTSB Form 6120.1/2, the pilot reported: "After landing on runway 33 and during rollout the wind shifted and lifted the left wing. I was unable to control [the airplane] because this was a taildragger and did not have a wheel lock. Right wing hit first, plane went up on its nose and prop hit, came down on the left wing." According to the Federal Aviation Administration Inspector, the pilot reported that a ground loop occurred when he lost control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The pilot reported that the airplane had no mechanical deficiencies. In the Recommendation section of the NTSB Form 6120.1/2 (How Could This Accident Been Prevented), the pilot replied: "After landing, wind shifted 180 [degrees]. During rollout, pilot should have turned into the wind to avoid lift and ground loop." The pilot held a private pilot certificate and reported 200 hours of flight experience, of which 100 hours were in make and model.
