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 stated that he entered the traffic pattern and circled about four times, looking at the windsock and the condition of the 2,400-foot grass runway. After a crosswind landing with full flaps he applied brakes but said that they had no effect on stopping performance. He released the brakes and reapplied them but the airplane did not stop. He elected to stay on the runway and the airplane collided with a plastic perimeter fence, located past the end of the runway. The airplane came to a stop in a field and the pilot and three passengers exited the airplane. The pilot reported that the grass runway was wet at the time, with some snow and ice on the runway as well. The airplane sustained structural damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's decision to land downwind on the contaminated runway, resulting in the airplane overrunning the runway.

Full Narrative

The pilot stated that he entered the traffic pattern and circled about four times, looking at the windsock and the condition of the 2,400-foot grass runway. After a crosswind landing with full flaps, he applied wheel brakes, but they had no effect on stopping performance. He released the brakes and reapplied them; he again noted no effect. He elected to stay on the runway and the airplane collided with a plastic perimeter fence, located past the end of the runway. The airplane came to a stop in a farm field and he and the three passengers exited the airplane. He reported that the grass runway was wet at the time, with some snow and ice on the runway as well. The airplane sustained structural damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that he experienced no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane.
