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.

DUE TO NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES, LANDINGS AT THE DESTINATION AIRPORT WERE TO BE MADE TO THE NORTH, EXCEPT WHEN THERE WOULD BE A TAILWIND WIND IN EXCESS OF 10 MPH (9 KTS). WHEN THE PLT ARRIVED, HE TRIED TO CONTACT UNICOM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE REPORTED THAT HE CHECKED THE WIND SOCK & ELECTED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 2 WITH A KNOWN TAILWIND. DURING THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO LAND, HE OPTED TO GO-AROUND AS THE APPROACH WAS AFFECTED BY THE TAILWIND (12 KTS). A SECOND APPROACH WAS MADE WITH A LANDING APPROXIMATELY 1800 FT DOWN THE 2400 FT RUNWAY. THE PILOT APPLIED BRAKES AND RETRACTED THE FLAPS. HOWEVER, THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINING TO STOP. THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE DEPARTURE END AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT HANDBOOK, A STOPPING DISTANCE OF 928 FT WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED.
NTSB Probable Cause
FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT OR GO AROUND WHILE THERE WAS STILL SUFFICIENT RUNWAY AND SPEED REMAINING. THE TAILWIND WAS A RELATED FACTOR.
