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.

This was the student pilot's first solo flight. The first two landings on runway 35 had been accomplished without incident. The approach for a third landing had to be abandoned because there was an airplane still on the runway. The next approach resulted in a normal landing but during the rollout, the airplane raised up on its left main landing wheel. "I couldn't control the plane," the pilot wrote. The airplane veered "very hard" to the left into a snow bank. Winds recorded 6 minutes after the accident were from 240 degrees at 6 knots. This would present the pilot with slightly less than a 6 knot left crosswind component and a 2 knot tailwind component.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during landing.

Full Narrative

On March 3, 2001, approximately 1245 mountain standard time, N152RC, a Cessna 152, owned and operated by Utah State University, was substantially damaged when it collided with terrain during landing on runway 30 at Logan-Cache Airport, Logan, Utah. The student pilot, the only occupant aboard, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed for the instructional flight being conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91. The flight originated at Logan at 1230. This was the student pilot's first solo flight. He said that the first two landings had been accomplished without incident. His approach for the third landing was abandoned because there was an airplane still on the runway. The next approach resulted in a normal landing but during the rollout, the airplane raised up on its left main landing wheel. "I couldn't control the plane," the pilot wrote. The airplane veered "very hard" to the left into a snow bank. Winds recorded 6 minutes after the accident were from 240 degrees at 6 knots. This would present the pilot with slightly less than a 6 knot LEFT crosswind component and a 2 knot tailwind component.
