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.

During touchdown for landing at the completion of a cross-country flight, the aircraft bounced divergently and exited the left side of the runway into soft terrain. The left main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft came to rest on the left wings and nose. The pilot had 7 hours in make and model. The wind was a left quartering tailwind at 6 knots. Examination of the aircraft revealed no system or structural failure or malfunction.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft during landing roll. Factors were a tail wind, inadequate weather evaluation by the pilot, and lack of experience in make and model.

Full Narrative

On August 16, 2000, at 1424 mountain daylight time, a Waco AGC-8, N66206, went off the left side of the runway, sheared the right main landing gear, damaged both right wings, and went nose down during landing roll at Ogden Hinckley Field, Ogden, Utah. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and the private pilot and his two passengers were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for this cross-country flight from Klamath Falls, Oregon, operating under Title 14 CFR Part 91, and no flight plan was filed. At the time of the accident, the wind was a left quartering tailwind at 6 knots. According to the pilot, a "slight" bounce occurred during initial touchdown and the aircraft drifted left of the runway centerline. The pilot said he applied full right rudder followed by full right brake. Neither corrected the left drift, and the aircraft departed the left side of the runway into soft terrain. According to witnesses, the aircraft bounced divergently several times during the touchdown phase of the landing and then veered off the left side of the runway and came to rest left wing down and nose down. Inspection of the aircraft by an FAA airworthiness inspector provided no evidence of mechanical failure or malfunction. Examination of the pilot's flight experience revealed the pilot had 7 hours in make and model, all of which was in the preceding 30 days.
