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 airplane was substantially damaged when the student pilot lost directional control during landing, departed the runway surface, and impacted a tree line. The pilot reported that he was returning to his home airport on a solo cross-country flight when he needed to land at an intermediate airport. The pilot stated that after departure from the intermediate airport, he decided to remain in the traffic pattern for a practice landing. He reported that the landing was "heavy" on the left main landing gear and the airplane bounced. He stated that "immediately after bouncing [the airplane] shot off the runway to the left." The pilot noted that he attempted to abort the landing but was unable to regain flying speed. The airplane subsequently impacted a tree line and came to rest. A post-accident inspection confirmed continuity of all flight controls. Tire ruts were observed in the soft grass adjacent to the runway pavement, extending from the edge of the runway to the location of the airplane at the tree line.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's misjudgment of the landing flare resulting in a hard landing, his inadequate recovery from the bounced landing and his subsequent failure to maintain directional control of the airplane. The pilot's attempt to abort the landing, and the soft grass and tree line adjacent to the runway pavement were contributing factors.

Full Narrative

On May 25, 2005, about 1337 central daylight time, a Cessna 150F, N8337G, piloted by a student pilot, was substantially damaged during a hard landing and subsequent loss of control on runway 20 (2,998 feet by 46 feet, asphalt) at Neodesha Municipal Airport (2K7), Neodesha, Kansas. The flight was operating under 14 CFR Part 91 without a flight plan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The pilot reported no injuries. The flight originated from Coffeyville Municipal Airport (CFV), Coffeyville, Kansas, about 1000. The pilot reported that he flew to Chanute Martin Johnson Airport (CNU), Chanute, Kansas, and was returning to CFV when he needed to make an intermediate stop. He elected to land at 2K7. The pilot stated that upon departure from 2K7 en route to CFV he decided to remain in the traffic pattern for a practice landing at 2K7. He reported that the landing was "heavy" on the left main landing gear and the airplane bounced. He stated that "immediately after bouncing [the airplane] shot off the runway to the left." The pilot noted that he attempted to abort the landing but was unable to regain flying speed. The airplane impacted a tree line and came to rest. A post-accident inspection confirmed continuity of all flight controls. Tire ruts were observed in the soft grass adjacent to the runway pavement. They extended approximately 1,400 feet from the edge of the runway pavement to the location of the airplane at the tree line.
