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.

The pilot stated that while on final approach to the runway, the aircraft drifted from the center line and he initiated a go-around. During the go-around procedure, the stall warning horn sounded and the aircraft collided with the terrain. The aircraft impacted the terrain approximately 400 feet southeast of the approach end of the runway and slid another 65 feet before coming to rest on the runway. No evidence was found to indicate a mechanical failure or malfunction.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an inadvertent stall.

Full Narrative

On January 15, 1999, about 1733 pacific standard time, a Cessna 175, N9326B, operated by the pilot as a 14 CFR 91 personal flight, was substantially damaged when it collided with the ground during a go-around maneuver at the Moses Lake Municipal Airport, Moses Lake, Washington. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The private pilot received minor injuries and his passenger sustained serious injuries. There was no fire and the pilot reported that the ELT had actuated. The flight originated from the Moses Lake Airport approximately one hour prior to the accident. The pilot stated that while on final approach to runway 16, the aircraft drifted to the left of center line and he elected to initiate a go-around. The pilot reported that, "About this time the stall horn went off. The only memory I have after this is seeing the field (ground) coming up and thinking keep it straight, level and nose up." The aircraft collided with the ground approximately 400 feet southeast of the approach end of runway 16, and slid another 65 feet before coming to rest on the runway. At 1652, the Moses Lake weather was winds from 120 degrees at four knots. Visibility was 10 miles with clear sky's. An FAA inspector from the Spokane, Washington Flight Standards District Office inspected the aircraft after the accident and reported that there was no evidence found to indicate a mechanical failure or malfunction.
