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 PLT REPORTED THAT DURING A LANDING, THE ACFT ENCOUNTERED A GUST OF WIND & BALLOONED. THE AIRSPEED DECREASED TO 40 KTS & THE ACFT DROPPED TO THE RWY. THE PLT APPLIED FULL POWER & REDUCED THE FLAPS FROM 40 DEG TO FULL UP. THE ACFT BECAME AIRBORNE, BUT TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN. IT THEN ROLLED ACROSS THE RWY, CROSSED A TAXIWAY & WENT INTO A DITCH. TOWER PERSONNEL STATED THAT THEY NORMALLY LAND GENERAL AVIATION ACFT ON RWY 11, RATHER THAN RWY 16, SINCE IT REQUIRES LESS TAXI DISTANCE. HOWEVER, RWY 16 CAN BE SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BY THE PLT. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, THE X-WIND COMPONENT WAS ABOUT 10 KTS.
