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.

WHILE ON LANDING ROLL, THE PILOT ENCOUNTERED A STRONG CROSS-WIND AND ABORTED THE LANDING. THE AIRPLANE THEN DRIFTED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK TREES, SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGING THE AIRPLANE.
NTSB Probable Cause
THE PILOT'S INADEQUATE COMPENSATION FOR THE CROSSWIND RESULTING IN NOT MAINTAINING ALIGNMENT WITH THE RUNWAY AND THE PILOT'S DELAY IN ABORTING THE LANDING. THE CROSSWIND WAS A FACTOR.
Full Narrative
On May 27, 1994, about 1730 central daylight time, N201NH, a Mooney M20-J, registered to the pilot, Daryll Plymel, collided with trees on landing at Apalachicola, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the pilot reported no injures. The flight originated from Moultrie, Georgia, about 1630 the same day. The pilot stated that as he touched down on landing the aircraft encountered a gust of wind, drifted to the left and he then attempted a go-around. The pilot lost control of the airplane on the ground, left the runway and collided with trees.
