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.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain control while landing with a crosswind and gusting wind conditions, which resulted in the airplane veering off the runway and incurring damage.

Full Narrative

On August 12, 2004, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172SP, N21063, registered to and operated by a private individual as a Title 14 CFR part 91 personal flight, veered off the runway while landing at Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport, Miami, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed. The private-rated pilot and passenger were not injured, and the airplane incurred substantial damage. The flight originated in Marathon, Florida, the same day, about 1250. The pilot stated that he was in the process of moving his airplane from its home base in Marathon, Florida, to avoid Hurricane Charley, and further stated that the flight to Kendal-Tamiami Executive Airport, was uneventful. He stated that there was no problem with the subsequent landing/flare touchdown, but during the landing rollout, all of a sudden the airplane veered to the left and exited the runway. He said that at the time there was a crosswind, and the wind was gusting, and added that he believed that a gust affected the airplane and forced it off the runway. The airplane incurred damage to the right wing.
