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 departed off the runway edge while landing with a prevailing crosswind. The pilot then taxied the airplane through rocks at high speed, where the propeller struck the ground/rocks. The pilot then proceeded to taxi through a drainage ditch where the propeller struck the ground/ditch multiple times while exiting the ditch. The pilot's airman medical certificate was expired at the time of the incident. Postaccident inspection of the airplane revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.

Full Narrative

On July 3, 2009, at 1810 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus Design Corporation, SR22, N708RW, received minor damage when it veered off the runway and impacted terrain during landing at Put-In-Bay Airport (3W2), Put-In-Bay, Ohio. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot and passenger were uninjured. The flight last departed from Akron Fulton International Airport, Akron, Ohio, at 1630. According to a police report, an officer of the Put-In-Bay Police Department contacted the pilot on July 6, 2009. The pilot stated to the officer that a "big gust" of wind blew the airplane off the runway. The pilot would not give the officer any further information pertaining to him or to the incident. The pilot stated that during the approach to runway 21 (2,870 feet by 75 feet, asphalt), which had a displaced threshold of 657 feet, he performed a go-around after a report of wind conditions by a preceding airplane. During the second landing attempt, the airplane reportedly experienced wind sheer and turbulence that "pushed" the airplane off the runway where it rolled into the grass and at one point the propeller "touched" the ground. The pilot taxied the airplane back onto the runway and parked the airplane. The airplane's short final approach ground speed was approximately 82 knots. After touchdown, the airplane departed the left side and traversed the area adjacent to the runway. The airplane ground speed was approximately 78 knots abeam the center of the runway and decelerated to approximately 8 knots where the airplane then crossed over the departure end of the runway. The airplane then taxied along the taxiway to the airplane parking area. According to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector, the pilot taxied the airplane through rocks at high speed, and upon exiting the rock area, the propeller struck the ground/rocks. The pilot then proceeded to taxi through a drainage ditch where the propeller struck the ground/ditch multiple times while exiting the ditch. The airplane propeller and landing gear wheel fairings were damaged. Post accident inspection of the airplane revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot's airman medical certificate was expired at the time of the incident.
