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.
Dunnellon, FL
The pilot was attempting a crosswind landing and after touchdown he lost control and the airplane veered right departing the runway within the first 1000 feet of the length. Upon leaving the runway, the right wing contacted the ground and nosed over. The airplane came to rest to the right of runway 23. The pilot did not report any mechanical malfunctions.
The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind and his failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll. The crosswind was a contributing factor.
On June 23, 2005, approximately 1847 eastern daylight time, a Piper 28-140, N466FL, owned and operated by a private owner, collided with the ground and flipped inverted at Dunnellon/Marion County & Park of Commerce Airport, in Dunnellon, Florida. The personal flight was operated under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91 with no flight plane filed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The private pilot received no injuries, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The flight departed Dunnellon/Marion County & Park of Commerce Airport, at approximately 1840 June 23, 2005. The pilot stated that he was attempting a routine crosswind landing when the accident occurred. After the landing gear came in contact with the runway 23, the pilot reported that the airplane veered to the right off the runway surface and flipped inverted. Upon leaving the runway the airplane's right wing made contact with the ground and the airplane looped. The aircraft came to rest on the grass to the right of runway 23. The post-accident examination of the airplane revealed that all flight control surfaces were attached and the airplane was inverted. No mechanical malfunctions were reported by the pilot during the flight. Further examination of the airplane revealed the right wing, tail and propeller were damaged. The pilot initially reported a crosswind condition, however another airplane in the traffic pattern experienced no problems with the wind condition.
