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.
Crivitz, WI
A rental airplane received substantial damage on impact with a road during an aborted landing on runway 36 (2,155 feet by 70 feet, dry asphalt). Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident with southerly winds. The pilot stated that he touched down, "dumped" the flaps, and made a decision that he needed to go-around. He applied full power and tried to clear the black top road at the end of the runway. He stated that the road was higher than the runway and had a 2-3 foot "build up" over the road bed. The main landing gear hit the lip on the black top. The left main landing gear separated from the airplane, and the right main landing gear was bent. He then departed and landed at an alternate airport. The Airport Facility Directory lists runway 36 as having a displaced threshold of 518 feet. A "road" is also listed under runway 36.
The proper touchdown point not attained by the pilot during landing. The road and tailwind were contributing factors.
On September 2, 3004, at 0930 central daylight time, a Piper PA-32-301, N8173J, operated by Olds Forge Flyers Inc. as a rental airplane, received substantial damage on impact with a road during an aborted landing on runway 36 (2,155 feet by 70 feet, dry asphalt) at Crivitz Municipal Airport (3D1), Crivitz, Wisconsin. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 business flight was operating on an instrument rules flight plan. The airline transport pilot was uninjured. The flight originated from Gerald R. Ford International Airport Grand Rapids, Michigan, at 0800 eastern daylight time, and was en route to 3D1. The pilot stated that he touched down, "dumped" the flaps, and made a decision that he needed to go-around. He applied full power and tried to clear the black top road at the end of the runway. He stated that the road was higher than the runway and had a 2-3 foot "build up" over the road bed. The main landing gear hit the lip on the black top. The left main landing gear separated from the airplane, and the right main landing gear was bent. He then landed at Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport (MNM), Menominee, Michigan. The MNM Automated Weather Observing System located approximately 19 nautical miles east of the 3D1, recorded at 0955, wind 200 degrees at 9 knots. The Airport Facility Directory lists runway 36 as having a displaced threshold of 518 feet. A "road" is also listed under runway 36. Examination of the accident site revealed three landing gear ground scars extending about 40 feet north of the road.
