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 landing in gusty, turbulent, variable winds. Just as the aircraft was touching down, it was hit by a strong crosswind, which caused it to veer to the left. While the pilot was making control inputs in order to keep the aircraft on the runway, it veered quickly back to the right, and then back to the left again. Upon veering to the left this second time, it departed the runway and impacted a nearby fence. The investigation revealed no evidence of control system malfunction or anomaly.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to adequately compensate for wind conditions. Factors include gusty, turbulent, variable crosswinds, and a fence in the vicinity of the runway.

Full Narrative

On October 16, 1999, approximately 1045 mountain daylight time, a Beechcraft F33A, N95CF, impacted a fence after departing the runway during the landing roll at Fanning Field, Idaho Falls, Idaho. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured, but the aircraft, which was owned and operated by the pilot, sustained substantial damage. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal pleasure flight, which departed Crosby, North Dakota, about 0830 central daylight time, was operating in visual meteorological conditions. No flight plan had been filed, and there was no report of an ELT activation. According to the pilot, who was landing in gusty, turbulent, variable winds, just as the aircraft was touching down, it was hit by a strong crosswind that caused it to veer to the left. While the pilot was attempting to correct for the sudden change in direction, the aircraft veered quickly back to the right and then back to the left again. During this second excursion to the left, the aircraft departed the left side of the runway and impacted a nearby fence. The investigation revealed no evidence of control system malfunction or anomaly.
