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 landing on a 3,500-foot long wet runway with about 1,800 feet remaining, the 442-hour pilot stated that the airplane "hydroplaned on [a] slick painted surface" and he was able to maintain directional control until the airplane rolled off the end of the runway. Subsequently, the airplane struck a barbwire fence and impacted a tree. A weather observation station located six miles southwest of the accident site reported 6 minutes before the accident wind from 080 degrees at 6 knots, light rain and mist, few clouds at 800 feet, broken clouds at 2,600 feet, overcast cloud layer at 3,100 feet.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's misjudgment of distance needed to land to a full stop resulting in an overrun. Contributing factors were the prevailing rain and the encounter with hydroplaning conditions.

Full Narrative

On May 28, 2005, approximately 1930 central daylight time, a single-engine Cessna R182 airplane, N757ME, registered to and operated by Henley's Training Academy, Inc., of Addison, Texas, was substantially damaged when it overran the departure end of Runway 17 while landing at the Northwest Regional Airport (52F), near Roanoke, Texas. The commercial pilot, sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight originated from the Denton Municipal Airport (DTO), near Denton, Texas, at 1905. The 442-hour pilot reported in the Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report (NTSB Form 6120.1/2) that while landing on Runway 17 (a 3,500-foot long and 40-foot wide asphalt runway), the airplane touched down long with about 1,800 feet of runway remaining. The pilot stated that the airplane "hydroplaned on [a] slick painted surface" and he was able to maintain directional control until the airplane rolled off the departure end of the runway. The airplane struck a barbwire fence and impacted a tree with the left wing approximately 50 feet beyond the departure end of the runway. The pilot added that the runway was wet at the time of the accident. Examination of the airplane by an Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, who responded to the accident site, revealed that the left wing sustained structural damage. At 1924 the automated weather observation system located at the Fort Worth Alliance Airport (located six miles southwest of 52F) reported wind from 080 degrees at 6 knots, light rain and mist, few clouds at 800 feet, broken clouds at 2,600 feet, an overcast cloud layer at 3,100 feet, temperature 21 degrees Celsius, dew point, 19 degrees Celsius, barometric altimeter 29.86 inches of Mercury.
