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 pilot was landing at a private grass field; he over-flew it twice to check its condition. On final, he was too high. He slipped the airplane to lose altitude, and put down 40 degrees of flaps. He said the airplane floated, and subsequently landed long. He "went off [the] end of the runway, bounced across uneven ground, and hit trees w/right wing." He said the right wing and fuselage were bent, and the engine's fire wall was wrinkled.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's misjudgment of his airspeed on landing, and his subsequent overrunning of the runway. A contributing factor was the trees.

Full Narrative

On July 24, 2004, at approximately 1630 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 182N, N92824, was substantially damaged when it landed long, overran the runway, and impacted trees. The private pilot was not injured. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the cross-country personal flight that originated from Saco, Montana, approximately one hour before the accident. The pilot had not filed a flight plan. The pilot said he over-flew the private field twice to check its condition. He flew a traffic pattern, and on final realized that he was "high." He slipped the airplane to lose altitude, and put down 40 degrees of flaps. He said the airplane floated, and subsequently landed long. He "went off [the] end of the runway, bounced across uneven ground, and hit trees w/right wing." He said the right wing and fuselage were bent, and the engine's fire wall was wrinkled.
