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.
Casa Grande, AZ
The pilot lost directional control of the airplane during landing and it ground looped. During the landing touchdown the airplane bounced, and the pilot attempted to salvage the landing. He said that he either overcontrolled the airplane or hit a brake. The plane veered off the runway, and spun around to the right striking the left wing tip on the ground and separating the left wheel.
the pilot misjudged the flare resulting in a bounced landing. Also causal was the pilot's inadequate recovery from the bounced landing resulting in a loss of directional control.
On June 29, 2004, at 1100 mountain daylight time, a Bellanca 7KCAB, N8717V, collided with the ground during the landing roll at Casa Grande, Arizona. The airline transport pilot/owner was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot and single passenger were not injured, and the airplane sustained substantial damaged. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a visual flight plan had been filed. The flight originated at Blythe, California, about 1005. The pilot told the National Transportation Safety Board Investigator that his approach to Casa Grande was normal. During the landing touchdown, the airplane bounced and the pilot attempted to salvage the landing. He said that he either overcontrolled the airplane or hit a brake. The plane veered off the runway, and spun around to the right striking the left wing tip on the ground and separating the left wheel.
