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.

NTSB Number
CEN11CA495
According to the pilot, he was spraying a corn field at a low altitude. He said that the airplane spray booms contacted the corn and the corn debris accumulated on the boom. He performed a forced landing to a field after the airplane was unable to maintain airspeed and altitude due to the increase in drag. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from vegetation that caused increased drag during a low-level maneuvering flight.
Full Narrative
The pilot stated that during the aerial application of a corn field, the airplane altitude became too low. The airplane spray booms contacted the corn and the accumulation of the corn debris on the boom increased drag. The pilot performed a forced landing to a field after the airplane was unable to maintain airspeed and altitude due to the drag increase. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings.
