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 reported that the runway at the destination airport was ice-covered, and that upon touchdown the surface was slicker than he had anticipated. He aborted the landing by applying full power to take off. The airplane was unable to out-climb the rising terrain at the end of the runway, and it collided with terrain, sustaining substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical issues with the airplane that precluded its normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's misjudgment of the runway surface condition, resulting in an aborted landing and collision with rising terrain during the ensuing takeoff attempt.

Full Narrative

On January 3, 2011, about 1350 Alaska standard time, a Beechcraft E18S-9700 airplane, N9001, sustained substantial damage during the takeoff phase of an aborted landing at the New Stuyahok Airport, New Stuyahok, Alaska. The airplane was being operated by Air Supply Alaska, Inc., Kenai, Alaska, as a visual flight rules(VFR) cargo flight under Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations Part 135, when the accident occurred. The solo airline transport pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and company flight following was in effect. In a written statement to the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge, dated January 6, the pilot reported that upon touching down on the ice-covered runway, he realized that the runway was slicker than anticipated. He wrote that he applied power to abort the landing, but was unable to out-climb the rising terrain at the end of the runway. The airplane collided with terrain, and both wings and the fuselage received substantial damage. The pilot indicated that there were no mechanical issues with the airplane that precluded normal operation.
