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.

According to the pilot, the windsock indicated the wind was from 290 degrees in excess of 15 knots when he landed on runway 21. He stated that the airplane encountered windshear as it approached the runway. The shift in the wind and the increase in speed resulted in the airplane floating down the runway prior to touching down. The pilot reported he was unable to stop the airplane with the brakes and it traveled off the end of the runway where it nosed over upon encountering an embankment. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the empennage and wings. The pilot stated he elected not to perform a go-around due to powerlines near the departure end of the runway.
The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind condition, resulting in a runway excursion.
The pilot reported that the windsock was indicating the wind was from 290 to 300 degrees in excess of 15 knots when he landed on runway 21. He stated that the airplane encountered windshear as it approached the runway. The shift in the wind and the increase in speed resulted in the airplane floating down the runway prior to touching down. The pilot reported he was unable to stop the airplane with the brakes and it traveled off the end of the runway where it nosed over upon encountering an embankment. He elected not to perform a go-around due to powerlines near the departure end of the runway. The empennage and wings were substantially damaged. Wind conditions reported 23 miles from the accident airport were 020 degrees at 16 knots, gusting to 22 knots.
