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.

While approaching the airport to land the pilot was told by the unicom operator that runway 5 was active. He entered the pattern and while on final approach to runway 5, he encountered another aircraft landing on runway 23. He made a go-around and entered the pattern for another approach to runway 5. During landing he heard another aircraft report on final approach to runway 23. He did not see the other aircraft and became nervous about having a head on collision with this aircraft. In haste to exit the runway, he ran off the runway into the grass and the aircraft nosed over.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's evasive maneuver during landing roll due to panic after hearing another pilot report landing on the opposite runway resulting in the pilot losing directional control and nosing over in soft terrain. A factor in the accident was the pilot of the other aircraft using the wrong runway.

Full Narrative

On January 22, 2000, about 1530 eastern standard time, a Stinson 108-3, N663C, registered to a private individual, nosed over after sliding off the runway during landing at Deland Municipal Airport, Deland, Florida, while on a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the commercial-rated pilot and one passenger received minor injuries. The flight originated from Deland, Florida, the same day, about 1430. The pilot stated that after flying in the local area for about 45 minutes, he returned to land at the Deland Airport. The unicom operator transmitted that runway 5 was the active runway. He made a visual approach to runway 5 and while on short final approach, another pilot reported that he was on final approach to runway 23. The pilot stated he saw the other aircraft and made a go-around. He returned for another approach and landing on runway 5. During landing he heard another pilot report on final approach to runway 23. He did not observe the other aircraft, and became pretty nervous. In his haste to get off the runway, he ran off the runway into the grass and the aircraft nosed over.
