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.

On June 3, 1993, at approximately 1530 Pacific daylight time (PDT), a Cessna 210L, N29631, impacted a mobile home during the landing roll at Lynden Municipal Airport, Lynden, Washington. The FAA certificated commercial pilot and his three passengers where not injured, but the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The personal pleasure flight, which departed Chehalis/Centralia Airport about 1500 PDT, was on a VFR flight plan in visual meteorological conditions at the time of the accident. There was no report of an ELT activation. The pilot said that he saw power line poles near the approach end of runway 07, so he remained high on short final in case there were power lines running between the poles. This caused him to come in high to the 2,439 foot runway. He touched down long and fast, and in attempting to stop, ran off the side of the 35 foot wide runway. While he was attempting to stop on the damp grass beside the runway, the aircraft impacted a nearby mobile home. He later discovered that the section of power line off the end of the runway had been removed from the poles.
