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 ACFT WAS NO LESS THAN 500 POUNDS OVER GROSS & THE PLT DID NOT PERFORM WEIGHT & BALANCE CALCULATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CARGO WAS NOT SECURED. ON THE INITIAL CALL TO THE GROUND CONTROLLER, THE PILOT WAS ADVISED THAT THE WIND WAS FROM 350 DEGREES AT 13 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 18. THE FLT WAS CLEARED TO TAXI TO RWY 36R BUT THE PLT REQUESTED RWY 27R, WHICH IS A LONGER RWY. THE FLT WAS CLEARED TO RWY 27R, & A SHORT TIME LATER, THE PLT CONTACTED THE TOWER CONTROLLER & ADVISED THAT THE FLT WAS READY FOR TAKEOFF. THE TOWER CONTROLLER CLEARED THE FLT TO TAKEOFF & ADVISED THE PLT THAT THE WIND WAS FROM 020 DEGREES AT 14 KNOTS. THE PLT REPLIED 'ROGER.' THE PLT STATED THAT THE MAIN LANDING GEAR DID GET OFF THE GROUND AND HE ABORTED THE TAKEOFF. DURING THE ROLLOUT THE ACFT TRAVELLED OFF THE END OF THE RWY & THE GEAR COLLAPSED.
NTSB Probable Cause
FAILURE OF THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND TO PERFORM WEIGHT AND BALANCE CALCULATIONS, EXCEEDING THE GROSS WEIGHT OF THE AIRPLANE, AND DISREGARDING WIND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE TOWER CONTROLLER.
