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 the airplane veered 'uncontrollably' to the right during the landing roll. The left wing contacted the ground and the airplane continued the turn until coming to rest on its nose 180 degrees opposite the direction of landing. Post accident inspection of the airplane revealed the crankcase breather tube was routed down the right main landing gear strut allowing oil residue to contaminate the brake system.

NTSB Probable Cause

a locked right brake which resulted in the pilot's inability to maintain direction control of the airplane during the landing roll.

Full Narrative

On July 30, 1997, at 1600 central daylight time (cdt), a Boeing B75N1, N75939, operated by a commercial pilot collided with the terrain following a loss of control while landing at the Tri- County Regional Airport, Lone Rock, Wisconsin. The airplane was substantially damaged. The pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and it is unknown if a flight plan was filed. The airplane departed from Norman, Oklahoma, at 0630 cdt. The pilot reported that during the landing roll the airplane veered "uncontrollably" to the right. During the turn the left wing contacted the ground. The airplane continued the turn until it came to rest on its nose, 180 degrees opposite the landing direction. Post accident inspection of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration Airworthiness Inspector revealed the crankcase breather tube was routed down the right main landing gear strut thus allowing oil residue to contaminate the right brake.
