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 pilot of the Cessna T210N said that he had landed on runway 25R and exited the runway on taxiway E. He said he contacted ground control and requested to taxi to the southeast T-hangars (requiring him to cross the active runway 25R). He said that ground control cleared him to taxi on taxiway A, to taxiway C, and hold short of runway 25R. The pilot said that upon reaching the intersection of taxiways A and C, he held on taxiway A (facing east) to permit any landing aircraft to exit the active runway at taxiway C. The pilot of a Sukhoi SU-29 (a tail wheel aircraft) said that he also landed on runway 25R and exited the runway on taxiway E. He changed his radio frequency to ground control and requested to taxi to the northeast T-hangars. Ground control cleared him to taxi on taxiway A to the T-hangars. The pilot said that he commenced to taxi. He said he saw the Cessna "at the last minute", and reduced his power and braked his aircraft. He said his propeller damaged the left elevator and left stabilizer of the Cessna.

NTSB Probable Cause

The failure of the pilot in the other aircraft to maintain clearance from a holding aircraft while taxiing from landing. Inadequate visual lookout by the pilot of the other aircraft was a factor.

Full Narrative

On March 23, 2007, at approximately 1715 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna T210N, N4644U, was substantially damaged when a Sukhoi SU-29, N360JP, taxied into it at Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK), Livermore, California. The commercial pilot in the Sukhoi SU-29 and his passenger, and the private pilot in the Cessna T210N and his two passengers were not injured. Both pilots were operating their airplanes under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the Cessna T210N's personal, cross-country flight, which originated from Napa, California, 30 minutes before the accident. Visual meteorological conditions also prevailed for the Sukhoi SU-29's personal cross-country flight, which originated from Ramona, California, approximately 3 hours before the accident. Neither aircraft had filed a flight plan. The pilot of the Cessna T210N said that he had landed on runway 25R and exited the runway on taxiway E. He said he contacted ground control and requested to taxi to the southeast T-hangars (requiring him to cross the active runway 25R). He said that ground control cleared him to taxi on taxiway A, to taxiway C, and hold short of runway 25R. The pilot said that upon reaching the intersection of taxiways A and C, he held on taxiway A (facing east) to permit any landing aircraft to exit the active runway at taxiway C. The pilot of the Sukhoi SU-29 (a tail wheel aircraft) said that he also landed on runway 25R and exited the runway on taxiway E. He changed his radio frequency to ground control and requested to taxi to the northeast T-hangars. Ground control cleared him to taxi on taxiway A to the T-hangars. The pilot said that he commenced to taxi. He said he saw the Cessna T210N "at the last minute", and reduced his power and braked his aircraft. He said his propeller damaged the left elevator and left stabilizer of the Cessna T210N.
