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.
Rome, NY
During landing on a 3,000-foot-long and 23-foot-wide runway, the airplane bounced, and the pilot initiated a go-around. During the climbout, the airplane's left wing impacted a tree after an uncommanded left bank, which the pilot did not correct. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies with the airplane, and stated the wind was "shifting" at the time of the accident.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during a go-around which resulted in the airplane impacting trees. A factor in the accident was the shifting wind.
On June 25, 2003, at 1400 eastern daylight time, a Beech 24, N1485L, was substantially damaged during an aborted landing at Becks Grove Airport (K16), Rome, New York. The certificated private pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to the pilot, while landing on runway 06, a 3,000-foot-long and 23-foot-wide runway, the airplane bounced, and he initiated a "go-around." During the climbout, the airplane banked left uncommanded, and the pilot "didn't straighten the airplane," before impacting a tree with the left wing. The airplane descended to the ground and came to rest upright. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies with the airplane, and stated the wind was "shifting" at the time of the accident, which contributed to the airplane's bounce on the runway. Substantial damage was incurred to both wings and the vertical stabilizer. The weather reported at the Oneida County Airport (UCA), Utica, New York, which was located 11 miles from Rome, at 1356, included wind from 160 degrees at 10 knots.
