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.

Full Narrative

On June 14, 2002, at 2100 central daylight time, a Cessna 182Q, N4833N, piloted by a commercial pilot, was substantially damaged during a hard landing on runway 30 (4,105 feet by 75 feet, asphalt) at the Harold Davidson Field Airport (VMR), Vermillion, South Dakota. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot and passenger were uninjured. The flight originated from the Eppley Airfield Airport, Omaha, Nebraska, at 2100, and was en route to VMR. The pilot stated in a written statement, "While landing a 182 I bounced, applied full power and hit hard, bending the nose wheel. I executed a go-around then landed." The Federal Aviation Administration inspector's examination of the airplane revealed that the nose gear and firewall were bent.
