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 he departed from a grass airstrip in wet conditions. He said that the short 15 minute flight was uneventful. However, upon landing, both main wheels on the tailwheel-equipped airplane would not turn. Full aft elevator control was not sufficient to maintain control and the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical and horizontal stabilizers. He reported that the brakes were firm when checked on final approach. He added that immediately after the accident the main wheels could not be rotated. Although approximately 45 minutes later, they were free to rotate. He said noted that the temperature was about 35 degrees Fahrenheit. He recalled thinking that water which accumulated on the brakes during takeoff may have frozen during the flight.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inability to maintain control during landing due to seized main landing gear wheels, which caused the airplane to nose over.

Full Narrative
