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 July 31, 1999, about 1910 Alaska daylight time, a tundra tire equipped Piper PA-18 airplane, N693JB, sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during landing at an off airport landing site, about 10 miles west of Levelock, Alaska. The solo commercial pilot was not injured. The business flight was operated under 14 CFR Part 91 by RDM Pilot/Guide, Ltd., of Anchorage, Alaska. The flight departed King Salmon, Alaska, at 1900 to look for game. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and a company VFR flight plan was filed. The pilot told the NTSB investigator-in-charge during a telephone interview on August 6, and wrote in his NTSB Pilot/Operator report, that during an off airport landing on tundra, the airplane nosed over. The left wing tip rib, and the overhead crossbar in the cabin roof, were damaged. He indicated there were no preaccident anomalies with the airplane.
