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.
Jasper, AL
According to the pilot, he was conducting a touch-and-go landing and takeoff on an asphalt runway that was wet from a light rain. After a normal landing, he added full engine power in an attempt to takeoff. The airplane veered to the left and in response, the pilot applied right rudder and retarded the throttle. The airplane continued off the left side of the runway and impacted the ground near a drainage ditch. The airplane's right main and nose landing gears separated and the right wing was substantially damaged. A postaccident examination of airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no mechanical malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation; the pilot additionally reported that there were no malfunctions.
The pilot's loss of directional control on a wet runway during takeoff from a touch and go landing resulting in a runway excursion.
According to the pilot, he was conducting a touch-and-go landing on an asphalt runway oriented 090 degrees. After a normal landing, he added full power for takeoff, and the airplane veered to the left. The pilot attempted to correct with right rudder, and also pulled back the throttle; however, the airplane departed the left side of the runway, and impacted the ground near a drainage ditch. The airplane's right main and nose landing gears separated, and the right wing was substantially damaged. Examination of airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions; nor did the pilot report any. The pilot reported that the weather at the time of the accident included light wind from about 160 degrees at 4 knots, and light rain.
