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 August 22, 1993, at approximately 1100 Pacific daylight time (PDT), a Cessna 150H, N22369, experienced a nose-over at a private airstrip near Garfield, Washington. The student pilot, who was on his first solo cross-country flight, received minor injuries, and the aircraft sustained substantial damage. The flight, which departed Felts Field, Spokane, Washington, at about 1000 PDT, and was en route to Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport, Pullman, Washington, was operating in visual meteorological conditions at the time of the accident. The flight was on a VFR flight plan, and the ELT, which was activated by the accident, was turned off at the scene. The student pilot said that he felt he had become lost, and decided to land when he spotted the private strip. He said that his airspeed got a little high just before touchdown and, because he was concentrating on landing before he ran out of runway, he landed hard, bounced, and lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft departed the runway and flipped over when it slid over a ditch.
