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 pilot was performing touch-and-go landings in the experimental, tail wheel equipped airplane. On the final landing, which was to be a full stop landing, he "braked hard" and the airplane nosed over during rollout. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's excessive braking during the landing roll.

Full Narrative

On January 27, 2001, at 1715 central standard time, a Neely B D, Kit Fox 4 homebuilt experimental airplane, N704KF, registered to a private individual and operated by the pilot, was substantially damaged following a nose over while landing on runway 33 at Breakaway Park Airport, Cedar Park, Texas. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The flight originated from Breakaway Park Airport about 20 minutes prior to the accident. During a telephone interview with the NTSB investigator-in-charge, the pilot reported that he was in the local traffic pattern performing touch-and-go landings. He stated that on the final landing, which was to be a full stop landing, he "braked hard" and the airplane nosed over during rollout. He also reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane, and that the accident could have been prevented if he had not worn "construction boots" which diminished his "feel" for the right rudder, as he applied the right brake "by accident." An FAA inspector, who examined the airplane after the accident, reported that the aircraft's frame (tubular construction) was buckled in the empennage area.
