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.
Dallesport, OR
During the takeoff roll, the pilot noted that there was no airspeed indication and reduced engine power to abort the takeoff. He stated that he lightly pulled back on the yoke, felt the airplane lift off the runway and that he then released the yoke. The airplane porpoised “3 possibly 4” times, “with each getting larger” until the nose landing gear collapsed, and the airplane slid down the runway, coming to rest on the runway surface. As the pilot exited the airplane, he noted flames near the door. The airplane was subsequently consumed by fire. Postcrash fire damage precluded examination of the pitot-static system or airspeed indicator, and the reason for the lack of airspeed indication during the takeoff roll could not be determined.
The pilot’s improper pitch control during the aborted takeoff, which resulted in a bounced landing and landing gear collapse.
