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.

According to the pilot, while returning from a cross-country flight, he prepared to land on runway 23 at Union, South Carolina. As the airplane touched down on runway 23 the airplane bounced and veered to the right. The pilot applied the left brake and right engine power in an attempt to regain direction control of the airplane but was unsuccessful. Full power was added to abort the landing but the airplane did not regain flying speed. The pilot reduced the power in an attempt to regain control and stop the airplane. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway and collided with a berm. Examination of the airplane revealed the fuselage was buckled. The right main gear shared off, and the outboard section of the right wing. Post accident examination of the airplane revealed no mechanical or flight control malfunctions.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's delay in aborting the landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's failure to maintain directional control.
