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.
Colville, WA
The pilot stated that during the landing roll, he did not apply maximum braking to let the airplane slow down on its own. As the airplane approached the end of the runway, the pilot realized that the airplane would not stop in time and used right engine differential power to turn left and avoid a 150-foot drop-off located at the end of the runway. The airplane veered left off the end of the runway onto a gravel area. When the airplane entered the gravel area the right main landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage to the outboard edge of the aileron, and damage to the landing gear and top of the inboard wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.

The pilot reported that it had just rained on the 2,695-foot-long runway that he intended to land on. During the landing roll, the pilot applied moderate braking but he did not sense that the airplane was decelerating sufficiently. The pilot stated that his knowledge of this airport made him aware of a 150 foot drop off located at the end of the runway. With the end of the runway approaching, the pilot elected to turn left off the runway and he used the right engine to assist the turn. The airplane veered left off the end of the runway onto a gravel area. When the airplane entered the gravel area the right main landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage to the outboard edge of the aileron, and damage to the landing gear and top of the inboard wing. The pilot said there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures.
