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.
Pembroke Pines, FL
The student pilot stated that while landing on runway 9R he initiated a go-around when his landing flare became unstable. The airplane did not climb and he elected to land on the remaining runway. He did not maintain directional control, departed the left side of runway 9R, impacted a taxiway sign and collapsed the nose gear incurring substantial damage. The pilot did not report any mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident.
The pilot's failure to establish a climb and his failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during an aborted landing leading to the airplane departing the runway and incurring substantial damage.
On May 17, 2004, about 1759 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172N, N737FE, registered to Airline Training Academy and operated by a private individual, veered off the runway while performing a go-around at North Perry Airport, Pembroke Pines, Florida, while on a Title 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft incurred substantial damage and the student pilot reported no injuries. The flight had originated just prior to the accident from the same airport. The student pilot stated that during the flare, while landing on runway 9R, he experienced wind that caused the landing to become unstable, which he attempted to correct with right rudder. He initiated a go-around and he attempted to climb but could not get enough airspeed. The airplane was settling back to the ground so he decided to land back on the runway but the airplane veered left. Once on the ground, the airplane departed the left side of the runway and impacted a taxiway sign before coming to a stop. An FAA inspector who responded to the accident stated that the airplane had a collapsed nose gear and substantial damage to the left wing and firewall. The pilot did not report any mechanical failures or malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident.
