## NTSB investigations (8)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB ANC25LA120](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC25LA120), Sep 14, 2025: Piper PA-18-150 (N3797Z), St Mary's, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s improper decision to takeoff with a tailwind, from a short off-airport strip, which degraded the climb performance of the airplane and led to impact with trees at the end of the strip.
- [NTSB ANC24FA092](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC24FA092), Sep 14, 2024: Jon Bergstedt JP Flyer (N1202Y), Wasilla, AK, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: The installation of an improperly sized fuel line that did not allow for adequate fuel flow to the engine, resulting in a partial loss of engine power and collision with trees.
- [NTSB ANC22LA081](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC22LA081), Sep 23, 2022: Piper PA-18-150 (N4144E), Chignik Lake, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during taxi in gusty conditions, which resulted in a nose-over and substantial damage to the rudder and wings.
- [NTSB GAA17CA569](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/GAA17CA569), Sep 25, 2017: Piper PA 18 (N3797Z), Beluga, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s inability to maintain pitch control due to an encounter with a tailwind gust after the airplane had stopped, which resulted in a nose-over.
- [NTSB WPR10CA404](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR10CA404), Aug 14, 2010: Carr Bryan Vans RV-6A (N677DS), Grass Valley, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot’s failure to attain a proper touchdown point that resulted in an overrun of the runway and nose over.
- [NTSB ANC10CA008](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC10CA008), Nov 14, 2009: Piper PA-18-150 (N3797Z), Anchorage, AK, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's decision to land and attempt to takeoff from an unsuitable off-airport site.
- [NTSB DFW05LA151](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/DFW05LA151), Jun 5, 2005: Beaton RV-6A (N927CL), Boerne, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The hard landing as a result of the pilot’s improper flare and his failure to recover from a bounced landing. A contributing factor was the pilot's diverted attention.
- [NTSB ANC69D0066](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC69D0066), Sep 29, 1968: Piper PA-18 (N3797Z), Whittier, AK, substantial damage

## FAA accident and incident reports (7)
