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 April 12, 1993, at approximately 2100 central daylight time, a Cessna 150K, N6099G, was substantially damaged during a forced landing approximately 1,331 feet short of runway 17 at William P. Hobby Airport, Houston, Texas. The private pilot and a pilot rated passenger received minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight. The flight departed Grand Prairie Airport, Grand Prairie, Texas, at approximately 1815. The flight to the Houston area was uneventful, according to the pilot. The tower tape was reviewed by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector who stated that the pilot reported his airplane running out of gas while on final approach to the runway at approximately 1,800 feet mean sea level. He then radioed that the airplane was out of gas and his engine had quit. His last transmission was that he did not think he was going to make the runway. The following information was reported by the FAA assigned inspector. The airplane was inspected by the FAA and no mechanical anomalies were noted. No fuel was in the tanks and according to aircraft rescue and fire fighter personnel at the accident site, there was no fuel leakage and no stained grass surrounding the airplane. The fuel selector switch was on the both position. One propeller blade was found bent back under the bottom of the engine. The other blade was bent back as well. Neither displayed torsional rotation signatures. The propeller spinner was found crushed on one side. The engine's crankshaft was bent. The engine and cowling were partially separated from the bottom of the firewall. The airplane nosed over approximately 16.9 feet from initial impact.
