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.

LAX08CA041

The pilot landed on the runway in a 3-point touchdown and reduced all engine power and pulled the stick back to keep the tail down. Despite applying right rudder to keep the airplane centered on the runway and not moving to the left, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control. The pilot reported that she added full engine power too late and the airplane ground looped striking its propeller. The pilot said there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing rollout, which resulted in an inadvertent ground loop.

Full Narrative

On December 22, 2007, about 1230 mountain standard time, a Found Aircraft FBA-2C2, N418MS, operated by the pilot/owner, ground looped during landing rollout at the Holbrook Municipal Airport, Holbrook, Arizona. The airplane's left wing was broken and the fuselage was deformed. The airplane was substantially damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the personal flight, and no flight plan had been filed. The private pilot and one passenger received minor injuries, and two passengers were not injured. The flight was performed under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91, and it originated from Winnemucca, Nevada, about 0815 Pacific standard time. The pilot reported to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator that no mechanical malfunctions or failures were experienced with the airplane, and the surface wind was light and variable. She reported that following a 3-point landing she reduced all engine power and pulled the stick back to keep the tail down. Despite applying right rudder to keep the airplane centered on the runway and not moving to the left, she was unable to maintain control. The pilot reported that she added full engine power too late and the airplane ground looped striking its propeller.
