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.

SEA00LA154

The pilot reported that he checked the wind conditions via the automated weather, and a visual check of the wind socks at either end of the runway. The winds were calm, and the pilot set-up for a landing. The pilot reported that just before the airplane touched down, a gust of wind raised the left wing. The right wing contacted the runway surface and the airplane veered to the right. The airplane exited the side of the runway and traveled into a ditch, nosing over and coming to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the aircraft at the time of the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind condition. Wind gust was a factor.

Full Narrative

On September 13, 2000, about 0845 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 120, N2007V, registered to Acme Aviation, and operated by a student pilot, nosed over during landing at Arco-Butte County airport, Arco, Idaho. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and a visual flight rules flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 solo instructional flight. The aircraft was substantially damaged and the student pilot was not injured. The flight departed from Rexburg, Idaho, about 55 minutes prior to the accident. The student pilot reported that prior to landing on runway 06, he checked the wind conditions, via the automated weather reported for the airport, and then verified by the wind socks located at either end of the runway that the winds were calm. The pilot set-up for an approach to runway 06. Just before the aircraft touched down, a gust of wind from the left raised the left wing. The right wing contacted the runway surface and the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and into a ditch. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane at the time of the accident.
