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 1,550-hour pilot lost of control of the tail-wheel equipped airplane while landing with a deflated tire. The pilot stated that as the main wheel landing gear touched the ground, the airplane pulled to the right.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during landing. A contributing factor was a deflated right main tire.

Full Narrative

On March 10, 2005, approximately 0930 central standard time, an agricultural Grumman G-164A single-engine tail-wheel equipped airplane, N5327, sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during landing roll at a private airstrip, near Gilbert, Louisiana. The airplane was registered to and operated by a private individual. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight. The local flight originated from the private airstrip at 0845. The 1,550-hour pilot reported in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) that as the main wheels touched the dirt runway, the airplane "pulled to the right and forward." Subsequently, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted approximately 1,300 feet from the approach end of the runway. The private airstrip features a single dirt runway, approximately 2,600-feet long and 125-feet wide. Examination of the airplane by the pilot revealed that right main landing gear tire was deflated. The outboard section of the left wing was bent downwards and the vertical stabilizer and rudder were crushed.
