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 flight was conducted to allow the owner to accrue two hours of instruction for insurance purposes. The flight instructor was performing a landing when the accident occurred. According to a statement by the owner, "During landing roll-out aircraft drifted toward right side of runway at which time the instructor exclaimed 'I don't have brakes over here'. Brakes were applied by trainee [owner] causing aircraft to nose over and come to rest on its back." Brakes were installed only in the left seat position. The flight instructor was seated in the right seat position. No pre-existing anomalies were found during a postaccident inspection of the aircraft.

NTSB Probable Cause

Full Narrative

On July 25, 2000, at 0900 central daylight time, a Monocoupe 90A, N19429, piloted by a certified flight instructor, was substantially damaged during a nose over during landing at the St. Louis-Creve Coeur Airport (1H0), Creve Coeur, Missouri. The instructional flight was operating under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91, and was not operating on a flight plan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight instructor and the airline transport pilot rated student reported no injuries. The local flight departed 1H0 at 0845. The flight was conducted for the purpose of allowing the owner to log two hours as required by his insurance. This was the second hour of that training. Four touch and goes had been completed prior to the accident landing. Three touch and goes were performed on a previous flight and one was performed during the accident flight. During the accident flight, the owner asked if the instructor would like to perform a landing. The owner said, in a written statement, "Instructor assumed control of the aircraft. During landing roll-out [the] aircraft drifted toward right side of runway at which time instructor exclaimed, 'I don't have brakes over here'. Brakes were applied by trainee [owner] causing aircraft to nose over and come to rest on its back." According to a statement by the flight instructor, "On July 14, 2000 [flight instructor] and [owner] had flown the aircraft for one hour and had successfully make several takeoffs and landings. Also, the aircraft was taxied around the airport for some time to become familiar with brakes and ground characteristics prior to flying." The flight instructor also stated that the aircraft had brakes installed only in the left seat position. The flight instructor was seated in the right seat position. No pre-existing anomalies were found during a postaccident inspection of the aircraft.
