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.
North Las Vegas, NV
Landing on runway 25 the pilot lost control of the airplane, which departed the right side of the runway and nosed over. The prevailing winds at the time of the accident were 220 degrees at 25 knots, gusting to 29, and peaking at 32 knots.
The pilot's inadequate compensation for the gusty cross wind conditions and failure to maintain directional control.
On April 25, 2003, at 1605 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182P, N43VB, veered off the runway and nosed over while on the landing roll at the North Las Vegas, Nevada, airport. The airplane was operated by the owner/pilot under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot sustained a minor injury, and the two passengers were not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a VFR flight plan had been filed. The personal flight originated at Farmington, New Mexico, at 1330. The North Las Vegas routine aviation weather report (METAR) for the time period of the accident reported winds from 220 degrees at 25 knots, gusting to 29 knots, and peaking at 32 knots. The pilot stated in his written report that he made his landing approach at 80 mph with 20 degrees of flaps. Upon the landing touchdown, the airplane was "Pushed hard to the right, and the left side and tail were lifted." This occurred twice, and the pilot countered with aft yolk input and full aileron deflection to maintain the landing flair. The airplane departed the runway and came to rest upside down.
