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.

CEN11CA140

The pilot stated that the airplane veered to the left after the landing touchdown. He attempted to maintain control by using right rudder and brake; however, the airplane departed the left side of the runway, and the nose landing gear subsequently collapsed. He stated that he deliberately applied the right brake to put the airplane into a spin condition so as to avoid a possible collision with oncoming buildings. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall and fuselage. A postaccident examination of the runway environment revealed skid marks and depressions in the grass adjacent to the runway. The position of the skid marks was consistent with the right main landing gear. The inspection did not reveal any anomalies consistent with a pre-impact failure. The recorded wind about the time of the accident was from 180 degrees at 5 knots.

Full Narrative

The pilot stated that the airplane "veered immediately to the left" after landing touchdown. He attempted to maintain control by using right rudder and brake; however, the airplane ultimately departed the left side of the runway. The nose landing gear subsequently collapsed. The pilot reported applying "hard right brake to place the [air]plane into a spin to avoid a possible collision with oncoming buildings." The airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall and fuselage. An examination of the runway environment revealed skid marks and depressions in the grass adjacent to the runway. The position of the skid marks was consistent with the right main landing gear. A post accident inspection did not reveal any anomalies consistent with a pre-impact failure. Winds in the local area were recorded as calm about the time of the accident.
