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.
Broomfield, CO
The pilot said that he was landing on runway 11L when a right crosswind gust struck the aircraft. He decided to go around. He applied full power and raised the landing gear; the flaps remained at 30 degrees (full down). The pilot said that the airplane settled to the ground and subsequently exited the left side of the runway. Both wings and the fuselage were wrinkled, and the right engine mount was broken. The airplane's Pilot Owner's Handbook procedure for a balked landing states that the flaps must be raised to 0 degrees. The POH also states that the maximum demonstrated crosswind for landing was 30 knots.
the pilot's failure to follow procedures for a balked landing which resulted in a stall/mush.
On June 24, 2002, at 1657 mountain daylight time, a Beech 58P, N94PB, was destroyed during a go-around attempt at Jeffco Airport, Broomfield, Colorado. The instrument rated private pilot and his passenger were not injured. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the cross-country flight that originated from the John Wayne - Orange County Airport, Santa Ana, California, approximately 3 hours 20 minutes before the accident. An IFR flight plan had been filed and activated. The pilot said that he was attempting to land on runway 11L when a right crosswind gust struck the aircraft. He decided to go around. He applied full power and raised the landing gear; the flaps remained at 30 degrees (full down). The pilot said that the airplane settled to the ground and subsequently exited the left side of the runway. Both wings and the fuselage were wrinkled, and the right engine mount was broken. The airplane's Pilot Owner's Handbook (POH) for a balked landing states: 1. Propellers -- High RPM 2. Throttles -- Full open 3. Airspeed -- Balked landing climb speed (92 knots) 4. Flaps -- Up (0 degrees) 5. Landing Gear -- Up The POH also states that the maximum demonstrated crosswind for landing was 30 knots. The maximum calculated crosswind, at the time of the accident, was 20 knots.
