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.

CEN21LA458

The pilot reported that he was performing a visual approach to a grass runway, when he noticed the airplane’s ground speed was higher than usual. He increased the wing flap setting to slow the airplane and maneuvered the airplane to avoid obstructions on and to the side of the glide path, but then he realized that attempts to slow the airplane were not realized due to a tailwind. The airplane touched down on the runway and bounced twice but did not slow. The airplane overran the runway and impacted a fence and trees at the departure end. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane to the north with wind light and variable from 080 degrees and gusting to 10 knots. The pilot reported that he could have performed a go-around but decided to continue the approach.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing with a variable gusting wind and his decision not to perform a go-around that resulted an overrun and impact with a fence and trees.

Full Narrative

The private pilot of the personal flight stated that during a visual approach to a grass runway, he noticed the airplane ground speed was higher than usual. He increased the wing flap setting to slow the airplane and maneuvered the airplane to avoid obstructions on and to the side of the glide path; he said he could have performed a go-around but decided to continue the approach. He then realized that attempts to slow the airplane were not realized due to a tailwind. The airplane touched down for landing on the runway and bounced twice but did not slow. The airplane overran the runway and impacted a fence and trees at the departure end of the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage that included damage to the left wing. The pilot stated there was no mechanical malfunction/failure of the airplane.
