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.

CEN23LA265

The pilot reported that he performed a landing to a remote private grass airstrip surrounded by about 80 ft tall trees, on all sides. At about 40 mph during the rollout on the dry grass, a “strong wind gust lifted the right wing.” The pilot applied full right aileron and full right rudder, but they had “no effect,” nor was the right brake “effective.” The airplane departed the runway, impacted a hangar, and came to rest upright. The pilot and passenger were able to egress from the airplane without further incident. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and the right wing. The pilot reported there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or the engine that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot further reported that he did not initiate a go-around due to the airstrip being “narrow” and both the tall trees and the hangar “being in the way.”

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the rollout, which resulted in a runway excursion, and a collision with a building. Contributing to the accident were the obstacles at the airstrip that prevented the pilot from performing a go-around.
