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 June 18, 1993, at about 1730 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182F, N1234M, collided with a tower guy wire during landing rollout at Swansons Number 3 Farm strip which is about 33 miles north west of Fallon, Nevada. The aircraft was owned and operated by Carey Transportation of Fallon, Nevada, and was on a business flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft incurred substantial damage. Neither the certificated private pilot nor his one passenger were injured. The flight originated at Eureka, Nevada, on the day of the mishap at about 1650 hours as a flight to the farm airstrip to conduct a hay survey for a potential truck hauling job. In both his written and oral statements, the pilot said he landed on the airstrip and was rolling out when a wing contacted a guy wire from a nearby power pole. The wire contact caused the aircraft to veer off the runway, collide with a ditch and nose over onto its back. According to the FAA airport master record file for the landing strip, it is a private use facility with one gravel surfaced runway. A set of 50 foot tall power lines and poles run parallel to the runway at a distance of 50 feet from the runway surface edge.
