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 executing an aborted landing, the nose wheel of the airplane snagged a barbed wire fence and the airplane nosed over on its back. The pilot stated that he arrived over the destination airport and circled to check the grass strip for obstructions and general field conditions. Satisfied with the appearance of the runway he decided to land. Towards the end of the landing rollout he felt that the tires were sinking and dragging excessively. Fearing getting stuck, he elected to abort the landing and continue with a takeoff. After liftoff, the airplane failed to clear a barbed wire fence at the end of the runway and the nose landing gear tire snagged the fence and the airplane nosed over on its back. The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's decision to abort the landing with insufficient runway available to gurantee obstruction clearance.
