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.
Hunters, WA
The pilot reported that the aircraft bounced after touchdown on the grass airstrip. The pilot stated that he applied full power for a go-around, however, due to a nose high attitude and not enough airspeed, the aircraft stalled and the left wing dropped. The aircraft collided with the ground and came to rest prior to reaching the end of the airstrip.
The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during an attempted go-around.
On July 6, 1999, approximately 1000 Pacific daylight time, the pilot of an experimental RV-6, N80274, lost control of the aircraft while landing on a private airstrip located about 15 miles north of Hunters, Washington. The private pilot and his passenger received minor injuries, and the aircraft, which was owned and operated by the pilot, sustained substantial damage. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal pleasure flight, had departed from the private airstrip about 30 minutes prior to the accident. The flight was being operated in visual meteorological conditions and was not on a flight plan. There was no report of an ELT activation. In a written statement, the pilot reported that the aircraft bounced after touching down on the grass airstrip. He then tried to execute a "full power go-around." But, according to the pilot, he was behind the power curve from holding the nose too high and not having sufficient airspeed. The pilot reported that as he attempted the go-around, the aircraft stalled and the left wing dropped. The aircraft collided with the ground and came to rest prior to reaching the end of the airstrip.
