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.

The pilot was taxiing on a 28 feet wide, uncontrolled, asphalt, shared road/taxiway. She attempted to taxi past a pickup truck that was parked on the edge of the road. The pilot said that she saw the truck, but misjudged the clearance from the airplane's left wing. The left wing contacted the truck, the airplane spun around, and the airplane dropped into a 2 feet deep ditch next to the road. The pilot said there were no anomalies with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot misjudging the taxi clearance between the airplane's wingtip and the parked vehicle.

Full Narrative

On May 19, 1999, at 1430 Alaska daylight time, a Taylorcraft F-19 airplane, N3585T, sustained substantial damage when it collided with a parked vehicle while taxiing for takeoff at the Lake Hood Strip, Anchorage, Alaska. The solo private pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated under 14 CFR Part 91 as a personal flight to the pilot's cabin on Flathorn Lake, Alaska. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and no flight plan was filed. The pilot told the NTSB investigator-in-charge (IIC) during an interview on May 21, and in her NTSB Pilot/Operator report, that she was taxiing from parking to the airstrip on an uncontrolled, shared, vehicle road/taxiway. She offset to the right to avoid a pickup truck parked at the edge of the taxiway. The road/taxiway is asphalt, 28 feet wide. The pilot told the IIC she misjudged the clearance, and the airplane's left wingtip contacted the luggage rack of the truck. The airplane spun around and dropped into a 2 feet deep ditch next to the road, damaging the left-rear spar. The pilot did not describe any preaccident anomalies with the airplane. The pickup truck was not damaged.
