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 said that he lost control of the aircraft as he rotated for liftoff. The airplane then veered off the right side of the runway, traveled through a grass infield area, and collided with a wall and a fence. The pilot reported that he had recently purchased the airplane and had only 6 hours of flight time in the D55. The pilot's prior multiengine experience was obtained in a Cessna 310. An FAA inspector examined the airplane and found no mechanical discrepancies with the controls, brakes, or engines. Tire tracks were identified, which led to the resting point of the aircraft. The tire tracks began at the approach end of the runway as both mains and the nose wheel. At a point 600 feet from the beginning of the takeoff roll, the nose tire track disappeared and the main gear tracks began a sharp deviation to the right and continued to the brick wall. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures experienced with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft during takeoff.

Full Narrative

On October 25, 1999, at 1600 hours Pacific daylight time, a Beech D55, N7674N, veered off runway 25 during the takeoff ground roll and collided with a brick wall and a fence at the Corona, California, airport. The aircraft was owned and operated by the pilot and was originating as a local area personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which was conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The aircraft sustained substantial damage. The private pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The pilot told a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector from the Riverside, California, Flight Standards District Office, that he lost control of the aircraft as he rotated for liftoff. The airplane then veered off the right side of the runway, traveled through a grass infield area, and collided with the wall and fence. The pilot reported that he had recently purchased the airplane and had only 6 hours of flight time in the D55. The pilot's prior multiengine experience was obtained in a Cessna 310. The FAA inspector examined the airplane and found no mechanical discrepancies with the controls, brakes, or engines. Tire tracks were identified, which led to the resting point of the aircraft. The tire tracks began at the approach end of the runway as both mains and the nose wheel. At a point 600 feet from the beginning of the takeoff roll, the nose tire track disappeared and the main gear tracks began a sharp deviation to the right and continued to the brick wall. In his written statement, the pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures experienced with the airplane.
