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.
Fort Myers, FL
The pilot stated that he touched down on the center of the runway at 65 knots, and the windsock still showed that the winds were calm. As he progressed about 400 feet during the landing rollout, the pilot said that a severe wind gust pushed him to the left, and as the airplane was reacting to his control inputs, the left wing tip struck some brush, which put him into a hard left turn that he was unable to get control of. After a second wing tip strike he said that the airplane came to a stop about 200 feet from where the first strike occurred. The pilot said that prior to the accident there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the aircraft or any of its systems.
The pilot's failure to maintain control during the landing rollout during gusting wind conditions, which resulted in the airplane veering off the runway.
On August 17, 2006, about 1100 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182S airplane, N250CS, registered to, and operated by a private individual, as a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, incurred damage during landing at Pine Island Airport, Fort Myers, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. The private-rated pilot was not injured, and the aircraft incurred substantial damage. The flight originated from Marathon, Florida, the same day, about 1000. The pilot stated that when he began the approach the wind was calm, and that the approach was normal and correct. He further stated that he touched down on the center of the runway at 65 knots, and the windsock still showed that the winds were calm. As he progressed about 400 feet during the landing rollout, the pilot said that a severe wind gust pushed him the left, and as the airplane was reacting to his control inputs, the left wing tip struck some brush, which put him into a hard left turn that he was unable to get control of. After a second wing tip strike he said that the airplane came to a soft stop about 200 feet from where the first strike occurred. The pilot said that prior to the accident there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions to the aircraft or any of its systems.
