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.

During the landing approach, the pilot realized the airplane was high and 'started a go around, obtaining partial power.' When he added additional power, the engine 'stalled.' A forced landing was made on the airport. The airplane crossed a taxiway and struck a stockpile of building material. Following the accident, the engine was started and ran 'normally.'

NTSB Probable Cause

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

Full Narrative

On July 21, 1996, at 1300 central daylight time, a Cessna 182A, N2182G, registered to and operated by a private owner under Title 14 CFR Part 91, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power near Skiatook, Oklahoma. The commercial pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the local parachuting flight which originated at 1200. The pilot reported that, when he realized his approach to land at Skiatook Municipal Airport was high, he "started a go around, obtaining partial power." Approximately 250 to 300 feet AGL, he added "additional power, [and] the engine stalled." The pilot landed the airplane in an "open area on the airport." During the landing roll, the airplane crossed a taxiway and struck a stockpile of building material. The landing gear, fuselage, and engine firewall sustained damage. Following the accident, the engine was started and run-up in the presence of an FAA inspector who reported that it ran "normally."
