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.

During a telephone interview with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge, the pilot reported that he "landed around 80 knots" and "didn't get the flaps down" before landing. He further reported that the airplane "didn't want to stop" and that it then "ran off the runway." During the runway excursion, the nosewheel collapsed, and the airplane nosed over. The fuselage, wings, and vertical stabilizer sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. An automated weather observation station located 28 nautical miles west from the accident site reported, about the time of the accident, wind from 170° at 7 knots. The landing was on runway 36. The pilot did not submit the NTSB Form 6120.1 Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report. A witness reported that he was at the airport in a hangar and noticed that the accident airplane was "high, fast, and downwind." He added that he observed the airplane overrun the runway and nose over into the grass.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's decision to continue an unstabilized approach for landing in tailwind conditions, which resulted in a runway overrun and a nose-over.
