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.
Redwood Falls, MN
The pilot said that he made three approaches to the runway and conducted a go around each time. On the fourth attempt the airplane touched down; however, over ran the end. The pilot stated that had he used a slower approach speed and harder braking the accident could have been avoided.
the pilot's not following proper short field landing procedures.
On August 15, 1998, at 1620 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-151, N4576F, operated by a private pilot sustained substantial damage during an overrun on runway 5 (2,050' X 200' dry/turf) at Redwood Falls, Minnesota. The pilot and one passenger reported no injuries. The personal 14 CFR Part 91 flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions. No flight plan was on file. The flight departed Marshall, Minnesota, at 1600. The pilot stated in a written statement that he made three attempts to land on the runway, going around each time. On the fourth attempt he landed, but was unable to stop the airplane on the runway. He stated that a slower approach speed and harder braking would have helped avoid the overrun. An examination of the airplane subsequent to the accident failed to reveal any pre-accident anomalies.
