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 commercial pilot was observed by a certified flight instructor (CFI) making a VFR approach for landing to a grass runway. The CFI stated the pilot appeared to have difficulty with the landing and initiated a go-around. The airplane was observed to make an immediate 90-degree left turn and reached about 50 to 100 feet agl. The left wing was observed to drop, the nose pitched down, and the airplane disappeared from view below the tree line colliding with the terrain.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN AIRSPEED (VSO) IN A GO-AROUND, RESULTING IN AN IN-FLIGHT LOSS OF CONTROL (STALL).

Full Narrative

On September 9, 1993, at about 1356 eastern daylight time, a Legrand, N2067V, experimental homebuilt Avid Flyer airplane, registered to Waldo L. Gentry, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, crashed while maneuvering on a go-around. The airplane was destroyed and the commercial pilot was seriously injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The flight originated from Arthur Dunn Airpark, Titusville, Florida, at an undetermined time. A certified flight instructor observed the airplane making an approach for landing to runway 22 in the grass. The flight instructor stated in a written statement to the NTSB investigator-in-charge that, "As we flew base leg I noticed that the avid flyer was having difficulty landing and executed an extremely poor go around by immediately turning 900 left after lift off and proceeded to "wallow" across the ramp and hangars until just east of the airpark when at an altitude of 50-100 feet above the trees, the left wing quickly dropped followed by the nose and the airplane disappeared below the trees." NTSB Form 6120.1/2, Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident Report was mailed to the pilot-in-command on September 10, 1993. The report was returned to the NTSB investigator-in-charge on September 27, 1993, by the injured pilot's wife without being completed with the following statement: "Wally Gentry is in critical condition at Orlando Regional Medical Center and is unable to complete the enclosed form at this time."
