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 taxied through loose snow and slush at the departure airport. The subsequent flight and landing took place in sub-freezing temperatures. On touchdown at the destination airport, the airplane veered to the right. The pilot applied left rudder to correct for the veer, but the airplane veered more sharply to the right, nosed down, and impacted a snow berm. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. Postaccident examination revealed that the right brake was locked by ice while the left brake moved freely. Subsequent disassembly of the right brake revealed no mechanical anomalies.

NTSB Probable Cause

Ice accretion in the right main landing gear wheel brake during departure, which prevented the right main landing gear from rotating on landing and resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent impact with a snow bank.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that he had taxied through loose snow and slush at the departure airport. The subsequent flight and landing were in sub-freezing temperatures. On touchdown at the destination airport, the airplane veered to the right. The pilot applied left rudder in an attempt to correct for the veer, the airplane then veered sharply to the right, nosed down, and impacted a snow berm. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. Postaccident examination by the pilot, found the right brake still locked by ice and the left brake free. He then disassembled the right brake, and no mechanical anomalies were found.
