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.

While performing touch-and-go landings, the airplane veered off the left side of the runway and nosed over. The pilot performed his second touch-and-go landing and added power for the takeoff. The plane veered to the left side of the runway and the pilot lost control. The airplane continued off the left side of the runway and into wet dirt where it nosed over onto its back. The pilot stated to the Safety Board investigator that he "applied all the right rudder possible" during the excursion off the runway, and that he "stayed with the power too long." The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during a touch-and-go landing. A contributing factor was the wet dirt at the runway edge.

Full Narrative

On May 6, 2005, about 1010 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 182, N6205N veered off the left side of the runway and nosed over during the landing roll at the Camarillo Airport, Camarillo, California. Channel Islands Aviation operated the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot was not injured and the airplane was substantially damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. The local personal flight originated at Camarillo Airport about 1000. The pilot stated in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) that he was doing touch-and-go's at Camarillo. Upon his second touch-and-go he made a good landing and added power. The plane veered to the left side of the runway and he lost control. The airplane continued off the left side of the runway and into wet dirt when it flipped over onto its back. The pilot stated to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator that he "applied all the right rudder possible" during the excursion off the runway, and that he "stayed with the power too long." The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.
