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 aircraft floated during landing flare and touched down over half the way down the 3,700-foot runway. The pilot initiated a go-around, but aborted the go-around when he realized the aircraft would not clear trees and telephone wires at the end of the runway. The aircraft could not be stopped on the remaining runway and collided with a dirt bank and nosed after overrunning the runway.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's misjudgment of distance and his delay in initiating a go around. Contributing was the pilot's improper landing flare.

Full Narrative

On August 30, 1998, about 1730 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172F, N7832U, registered to Hartford Holding Corporation, collided with a dirt mound when it overran the runway during landing at Pilot Country Airport, Spring Hill, Florida, while on a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the private-rated pilot and one passenger were not injured. The flight originated from Spring Hill, the same day, about 1700. The pilot stated he was performing a touch-and-go landing and the aircraft floated and touched down over half the way down the runway. He elected to make a go-around. When the aircraft would not climb to clear trees and telephone wires at the end of the runway, he aborted the go-around. The aircraft touched back down on the runway and he was unable to stop the aircraft before overrunning the runway. The aircraft collided with a dirt bank and nosed over.
