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 stated that after a normal approach and touchdown, the airplane veered to the right. He applied left rudder and brake to correct but not before the right wing collided with a tree. The airplane came to rest off the right side of the runway. Examination of the airplane revealed that the left wing tip was damaged caused by ground contact at a point farther down the runway than where the airplane came to rest. Also, tire marks on the runway indicate that the airplane touched down to the right of the runway centerline with the right main landing gear tire near the right edge of the runway. The airplane veered to the left then back to the right.

NTSB Probable Cause

the failure of the pilot to maintain directional control and his failure to maintain wingtip clearance with trees that border the right side of the runway.

Full Narrative

On July 22, 1998, about 1100 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182P, N7619N, registered to a private individual, operated as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, crashed on landing at Propst Airport, Concord, North Carolina. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged, and the commercial-rated pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The flight originated about 1030, from Ashboro, North Carolina. The pilot stated that after an uneventful approach and landing, the airplane began "pulling" to the right. He applied left brake and rudder which began to correct the situation but the right wing collided with a tree near the edge of the runway. The airplane continued to the right and collided with another tree, coming to rest heading about 30 degrees to the right of the runway orientation. Examination of the airplane and accident site by two FAA inspectors revealed that the left wing tip was displaced up with particles of grass and gravel imbedded in a hole in the leading edge skin. The right wing outboard of the lift strut was displaced aft due to impact damage from a tree. Examination of the runway revealed rubber deposits similar in width to the main landing gear of the accident airplane. The rubber deposits were located to the right of the runway centerline with the marks from the right main landing gear near the right edge of the runway. The deposits indicate that the airplane began veering to the left across the runway to a point where the left main landing gear tire was on grass off the left side of the runway. Also, a gouge was observed in the grass off the left side of the runway about 20 feet farther down the runway than where the airplane came to rest. The marks indicate that the airplane began to veer to the right and the marks faded near the centerline of the runway.
