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 Cessna 152 landed on runway 31, and the CFI planned for a "long rollout" so the student could practice taxiing. During the rollout, the student pressed the left brake, and the airplane veered off the left side of the runway. The CFI attempted to counteract the turn with right rudder and brake pressure, but was unable to avoid a parked Cessna. The Cessna 152 then rotated to the left, its propeller sliced through the empennage of the Cessna 172, and it came to a stop. The CFI stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane, and he "did not catch his student's actions in time."

NTSB Probable Cause

The CFI's delayed remedial action, which resulted in a loss of control during landing rollout and impact with a parked airplane.

Full Narrative

On November 10, 2001, at 1700 eastern standard time, a Cessna 152, N5195B, collided with a parked Cessna 172, N84193, during landing rollout at the Corning-Painted Post Airport (7N1), Corning, New York. Both aircraft sustained substantial damage. The certified flight instructor (CFI) and student pilot aboard the Cessna 152 were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the instructional flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. In a telephone interview, the CFI stated that he landed on runway 31, and planned for a "long rollout" so the student could practice taxiing. During the rollout, the student pressed the left brake, and the airplane veered off the left side of the runway. The CFI attempted to counteract the turn with right rudder and brake pressure, but was unable to avoid a parked Cessna. The Cessna 152's left wing impacted the left strut of the Cessna 172. The Cessna 152 then rotated to the left, its propeller sliced through the empennage of the Cessna 172, and it came to a stop. The CFI stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane and he "did not catch his student's actions in time". A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined both airplanes at the accident site. According to the inspector, there was substantial damage to the Cessna 152's left wing, fuselage, and propeller. Examination of the Cessna 172 revealed that the fuselage was partially severed aft of the wing attachment points. The partially-severed section and the entire empennage came to rest on the ground, at a 45-degree angle to the airplane. The CFI reported 2,358 hours of total flight experience, 608 of which were in make and model. The student pilot reported 2 hours of total flight experience, both in make and model. The winds reported at the Elmira Regional Airport, Elmira, New York, at 1653, were from 240 degrees and 3 knots.
