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.
Goose Bay, AK
THE PILOT WAS PERFORMING HIS FIRST WHEEL LANDING IN THE AIRPLANE. DURING THE LANDING, THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED TWICE AND TURNED ABOUT 40 DEGREES TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. DURING THE GO-AROUND ATTEMPT PERFORMED BY THE PILOT, THE PLANE COLLIDED WITH TREES.
THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND DID NOT MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE. A FACTOR IN THE ACCIDENT WERE THE TREES ADJACENT TO THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.
On November 2, 1993, at 1000 Alaska standard time, a wheel equipped Aeronca Champ 7DC airplane, N2532E, owned and operated by the pilot-in-command, crashed during a go-around attempt on runway 07 at Goose Bay, Alaska. The private certificated pilot and his passenger, the sole occupants, were not injured and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The personal pleasure flight, operating under 14 CFR Part 91, last departed the Lake Hood gravel strip at approximately 0915 and the destination was Goose Bay. Visual meteorological conditions existed and a visual flight rules flight plan was not in effect. The pilot-in-command told the NTSB investigator-in-charge during a telephone interview, that he was performing his first wheel landing in the airplane. Upon making contact with the runway, the airplane porpoised once and bounced into the air to a height of about 4 feet. The airplane settled back onto the runway, bounced again, and turned about 40 degrees toward the left edge of the runway. He applied power and attempted a go-around but collided with trees during the process.
