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 collided with objects while taxiing to a parking spot on the ramp area after landing and sustained substantial damage. When the pilot taxied onto the ramp, he decided to park next to two Twin Otters. His plan was to taxi behind the other airplanes and he felt he had sufficient clearance to accomplish this task. The airplane's left wing contacted a light pole and a sign located on a raised embankment while taxiing behind the other airplanes. The impact with the objects caused the airplane to yaw to the left and the propeller impacted the embankment. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

the pilot's failure to maintain clearance with obstructions while taxiing behind parked airplanes.

Full Narrative

On August 14, 2007, at 0725 mountain standard time, a Cessna 182H, N3464S, impacted a light pole with the left wing while taxiing to parking at Page Municipal Airport (PGA), Page, Arizona. Air Grand Canyon, Inc., operated the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The airline transport licensed pilot was not injured. The flight departed Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN), Grand Canyon, Arizona, at 0640. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the repositioning flight, and a company VFR flight plan had been filed. In a written report to the National Transportation Safety Board, the pilot stated his flight to Page was intended to pickup passengers for a Part 135 tour flight of Monument Valley. When he taxied onto the ramp at Page, he decided to park adjacent to two Twin Otters. His plan was to taxi behind the airplanes and then make a right turn to park next to them. He felt he had sufficient clearance to accomplish this task. His taxiing speed was "consistent with that normally used when maneuvering within a confined area." The pilot further stated his airplane's left wing made contact with an elevated light pole and a sign (both are on a raised embankment along the south perimeter of the ramp area) while taxiing behind the other airplanes. The impact with the objects caused the airplane to yaw to the left. The propeller then impacted the embankment. The pilot shut down the engine by normal means and exited the airplane. The airplane sustained substantial damage, including structural damage to the left wing. The pilot did not report any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
