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 reported he was flying from the right seat to become familiar with giving anticipated flight instruction from that side. After landing, he made a high speed taxi, and lost directional control. The airplane ground looped to the right, went off the runway, and struck trees. The pilot said that the airplane did not have brake pedals installed on the right side of the cockpit.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadvertent ground loop during a high speed taxi. A factor associated with the accident is the pilot's decision to taxi the airplane at an excessive taxi speed.

Full Narrative

On June 23, 1999, about 1605 Alaska daylight time, a wheel equipped Taylorcraft BC-12D airplane, N95064, sustained substantial damage during landing at the Lakloey airstrip, a private airstrip about 9 miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. The airplane was being operated as a visual flight rules (VFR) local area flight under Title 14, CFR Part 91, when the accident occurred. The airplane was registered to the pilot. The certificated commercial pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. During a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC), on June 24, the pilot, who is also a flight instructor, reported that he was practicing touch and go landings from the right seat in preparation for student instruction. The pilot reported after landing on runway 06, he was doing a high speed taxi with the tail up. The pilot said he lost directional control and ground looped to the right 90 degrees. The airplane subsequently collided with trees about 10 feet south of the runway. The pilot noted that the airplane did not have brake pedals installed on the right side. The pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical anomalies with the airplane. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
