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.

CEN11CA033
The pilot was returning to his home airfield after a local flight. The pilot stated that the final approach to the runway was a little longer than normal and thus the airplane was at a lower altitude. As the airplane approached the runway threshold he reduced the engine power. The airplane touched down in a plowed field about 100 feet from the end of the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot opined that the loss of control was a result of the airplane encountering turbulence on the approach. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical malfunctions associated with the airplane during the flight.

Full Narrative
The pilot was returning to his home airfield after a local flight. The pilot stated, “My pattern was a little extended so my final approach was longer and brought me in a little low. I increased power then reduced same as I reached the runway threshold. My altitude at the time of my power reduction was below the treeline.” The airplane sustained substantial damage to its left wing when it impacted terrain and came to rest in a plowed field about 100 feet from the end of the runway. The pilot reported that the airplane flew through pockets of turbulence during the approach and that caused the loss of airplane control. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical malfunctions associated with the airplane during the flight.
