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 returned to his private airstrip, landed on the concrete runway, but was unable to stop. The airplane traveled off the end of the airstrip, through a fence, and came to rest again the pilot's house. His airstrip was approximately 1,000 feet msl, 2,700 feet long, oriented from east to west. The initial 2,000 feet was comprised of grass, and remainder was comprised of concrete. The concrete portion of the runway was contaminated with buckshot. The reported wind and temperature at an airport approximately 10 miles away was 130 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 14 knots, and 84F. Review of a make and model information manual revealed that the minimum short field landing ground roll was 720 feet for the destination airstrip. Density altitude and tailwind components were not factored into the ground roll calculation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The airstrip owner/pilot's failure to use all of the available runway. Factors were a tailwind condition and a contaminated runway.

Full Narrative

On July 20, 2001, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Cessna TU206G, N113JV, was substantially damaged while landing at a private airstrip in Garrettsville, Ohio. The certificated private pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that departed Carroll County Airport (TSO), Carrollton, Ohio. No flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot stated that he purchased fuel at TSO, and returned to his private airstrip. During the landing, he touched down on the concrete airstrip, but was unable to stop. The airplane traveled off the end of the airstrip, through a fence, and came to rest against the pilot's house. According to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, landing to the west, the private airstrip was comprised of approximately 2,000 feet of grass, followed by 700 feet of concrete. At the end of the concrete was the fence and house. The pilot landed to the west, but did not utilize any of the grass area during the landing. Additionally, the inspector observed that the concrete strip was contaminated with buckshot. He added that a skeet shooting range was in the vicinity of the airstrip. The reported wind at an airport approximately 10 miles east of the accident site, at 1351, was from 130 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 14 knots. The reported temperature at that airport was 84 degrees F. The pilot stated his airstrip was at an elevation of 1,000 feet msl. Review of a Cessna TU206G Information Manual revealed a landing ground roll of 720 feet: with flaps set to 40 degrees, idle power, maximum braking, using a paved level dry runway, zero wind, and a pressure altitude of 1,000 feet msl. Density altitude and a tailwind component were not factored into the ground roll. However, the manual stated to increase landing distances by 10 percent for each 2.5 knots of tailwind.
