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.

During landing, as the airplane was approximately 10 feet from the approach end of the runway, and 3 feet above the ground, the pilot "stalled the airplane." The airplane then touched down in a 3-point landing attitude, the landing gear sank in the soft turf, and the airplane nosed over.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper flare and his failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in a stall and a hard landing.

Full Narrative

On February 13, 2004, at 1715 eastern standard time, a homebuilt Corben Jr. Ace, N823DP, was substantially damaged while landing at the Alliance Airport (23NJ), Pittsgrove, New Jersey. The certificated recreational pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed, for the personal flight which originated at the Kroelinger Airport (29N), Vineland, New Jersey. According to the pilot, he departed 29N, for a local flight to his private airstrip in Pittsgrove, New Jersey. He performed one uneventful landing and takeoff to runway 10 at Pittsgrove, a 860-foot long, and 130 foot-wide turf runway. He then decided to perform one additional landing, and as he was approximately 10 feet from the approach end of the runway, and 3 feet above the ground, the pilot "stalled the airplane." The airplane touched down in a 3-point landing attitude, the landing gear sank in the soft turf, and the airplane nosed over.
