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.

While on the downwind leg, the engine lost all power. The pilot activated the electric fuel pump and turned base leg for the runway. The engine regained partial power, but would not develop full power. The pilot intentionally flew a high approach as a precaution, and the airplane touched down hard, about half-way down the runway. It bounced several times, skidded, and traveled off the end of the runway. Examination of the airplane revealed approximately 27 gallons of fuel in each wing tank. The engine was subsequently test run with no difficulty or discrepancies noted.

NTSB Probable Cause

A loss of engine power during an approach for undetermined reasons.

Full Narrative

On September 16, 2003, about 1400 eastern daylight time, a Raytheon B36TC, N3212D, was substantially damaged during a forced landing, following a loss of engine power at Clermont County Airport (I69), Batavia, Ohio. The certificated private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that departed Highland County Airport, Hillsboro, Ohio. No flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot stated that while on the downwind leg for runway 22, a 3,568-foot long runway, the engine lost all power. The pilot activated the electric fuel pump and turned base leg for the runway. The engine regained partial power, but would not develop full power. The pilot intentionally flew a high approach as a precaution, and the airplane touched down hard, about half-way down the runway. It bounced several times, skidded, and traveled off the end of the runway. During the overrun, the left main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing sustained substantial damage. The airplane came to rest upright in a grass area beyond the end of the runway. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the airplane after the accident. He noted approximately 27 gallons of fuel in each wing tank. The inspector, and a representative from the engine manufacturer, subsequently test ran the engine with no difficulty or discrepancies noted. The engine ran at idle and full power without interruption, and a successful magneto check at 1,700 rpm was completed.
