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.

CEN10CA510
The pilot was conducting an aerial spraying operation from a private airstrip and had completed three loads. After applying the fourth load, the pilot returned to the airstrip for another load. During the landing the pilot applied both brakes; however, there was no response from the right brake. The pilot reported that he pumped the brake several times, but it still did not function. The pilot then applied full left brake and the airplane spun 180-degrees, collapsing the right main landing gear. The airplane impacted a ditch and electrical pole, before coming to rest. The reason for the loss of brake pressure was not determined.
NTSB Probable Cause
The loss of directional control during landing due to failure of the right brake for undetermined reasons.
Full Narrative
The operator was conducting an aerial spraying operation from a private airstrip, and had completed three loads, earlier in the morning. After applying the fourth load, the pilot returned to the airstrip for another load. During the landing the pilot applied both brakes; however, there was no response from the right-side brake. The pilot reported that he pumped the brake several times, but still no response. The pilot then applied full left brake and the airplane spun 180-degrees, collapsing the right (main) landing gear with the propeller striking the ground. The airplane impacted a ditch and electrical pole, before coming to rest. The reason for the loss of brake pressure was not determined
