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.

According to the pilot, he was departing from runway 17 at the end of a 500 foot displaced threshold. While accelerating, the right wheel went through a shallow pool of standing water on the runway, which caused the airplane to veer to the right. The airplane continued into the grass down a slope and impacted the base of the slope. Examination of the airplane revealed that the left canard (front wing) broke at the mid-span of the wing. The pilot did not report any preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Examination of the standing water revealed that it was approximately one inch deep, and according to the airport manager, it is due to a run off stream under the runway. A review of the airports AWOS and NOTAMs revealed that the standing water was not reported.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's loss of directional control during takeoff due to right main landing gear contact with a pool of standing water on the runway which resulted in a runway excursion.
