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 a climbing turn after takeoff a fabric panel separated from the aircraft and went through the propeller. Fabric on the wing flaps was damage and the fabric wrapped around the propeller flange. The pilot reduced engine power to idle and set up for a forced landing. The aircraft was over trees and the pilot flared onto the trees. Examination of the aircraft after the accident by an FAA inspector showed the panel that separated is held in place by velcro and appears to have been left loose during preflight inspection.

NTSB Probable Cause

The failure of the pilot to secure a fabric panel during preflight inspection resulting in the panel separating from the aircraft during climb after takeoff, passing through the propeller and damaging wing flap fabric, loss of engine power due to wing flap fabric wrapping around the propeller, and damage to the aircraft during a forced landing into trees.

Full Narrative

On October 22, 2000, about 0915 central daylight time, a Camillo Annaloro CA Special Quicksilver, N302CA, registered to an individual, crashed into trees shortly after takeoff from South Mississippi Light Aircraft Airport, Lucedale, Mississippi, 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 private-rated pilot received serious injuries. The flight was originating at the time of the accident. The pilot stated that he departed to the southeast and made a right turn. During the climb and turn, he heard a "loud pop sound" and the aircraft began vibrating. He reduced engine power to idle, level the wings, and lowered the nose to establish a glide. He was on top of trees at this point and flared the aircraft on top of the trees. He stated the gap seal cover separated during climb. A witness stated aircraft sounded normal on runup and departure and the climbout turn was normal. After the aircraft turned about 130 degrees, he heard a loud pop and saw what looked to be white paper or cloth coming from the engine and propeller area. Examination of the aircraft after the accident was performed by an FAA inspector. The fabric panel between the wing roots, which is held in place by velcro fasteners, had separated from the aircraft and was found on the ground, cut into three pieces. When the fabric panel separated, it went through propeller and also caused damage to the wing flap material. Wing flap material separated and was found wrapped around the propeller flange.
