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.

Full Narrative

On September 20, 1998, at 1445 central daylight time, a Cessna 150M airplane, N6107K, owned and operated by a private individual, was substantially damaged during a hard landing at the Clarence E. Page Municipal Airport near Yukon, Oklahoma. The student pilot was on her third solo training flight and was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the Title 14 CFR Part 91 training flight which originated from the Wiley Post Airport near Bethany, Oklahoma, at 1330. The student pilot reported that she had been practicing touch and go landings to runway 17R. On the fourth landing, she thought she "flared too early resulting in a hard landing." The aircraft bounced after the initial touchdown and the student pilot lowered the nose and touched down a second time on the nose gear which collapsed. Examination of the aircraft by the FAA inspector revealed the nose gear, firewall, propeller and lower fuselage were damaged. The student pilot had accumulated 32 hours flight time of which 31 hours were in the same make and model of aircraft.
