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 October 21, 1993, at 1230 eastern daylight time (EDT), a Cessna 182, N6353A, registered to Robert Baker of Belleville, Michigan, and piloted by a private pilot, was destroyed during a nose over following an excursion off the departure end of Runway 36 (1,735' X 160' dry sod) during a landing roll at the Larsen Airpark, Belleville, Michigan. The personal 14 CFR Part 91 flight had not filed a flight plan. The pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Jackson, Michigan, at 1200 EDT. During an interview the pilot stated he approached the landing runway as he normally would: 70 MPH with full flaps, crossing the runway threshold at 60 MPH. The pilot stated the airplane touched down and was lifted up by a gust of wind. He said he retracted the flaps and the airplane settled onto the runway with approximately 100 to 150 feet of runway remaining. He stated he could not stop the airplane within the remaining distance. The demonstrated cross wind component of N6353A is 12 MPH with no flaps extended and 11 MPH with full flaps extended.
