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.

Indian Village, LA
THE PILOT IN COMMAND LANDED ABOUT 75 YARDS SHORT OF THE APPROACH END OF THE ASPHALT RUNWAY. DURING THE LANDING ROLL IN THE WET GRASSY TERRAIN, THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER
LANDING PERFORMED SHORT OF THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD. FACTOR WAS WET GRASSY TERRAIN
On Monday, February 22, 1993, at approximately 1600 central standard time, a Grumman G 164B, N48455, was substantially damaged when it landed short of the runway and nosed over during the landing roll at Indian Village, Louisiana. The airplane, owned and operated by O'Brien Flying Service, and flown by a commercial pilot, was on a 14 CFR Part 137, local aerial application flight. There was no flight plan filed and visual meteorological conditions prevailed throughout the area. The pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. Interviews with the operator by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector and examination of the accident site by the FAA revealed the facts in this paragraph. The airplane touched down about 75 yards short of the asphalt airstrip. Shortly after touching down in the soft muddy terrain, the airplane nosed over. The pilot reported that the grass had been mowed and during the landing roll, the "grass started to pile up in front of the wheels and it caused the aircraft to flip." The airplane was released to the owner following the investigation.
