Aviation safety reports, made easier to study
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.

The pilot's failure to maintain proper airspeed resulting in the inadvertent stall during the go-around. The overload failure of the left main landing gear was a contributing factor.
Full Narrative
On June 30, 2004, about 1230 central daylight time, an amateur-built Peck Vans RV-4, N43MP, piloted by a private pilot, was substantially damaged during an attempted go-around from runway 27 (2,800 feet by 200 feet, turf), at the Palmyra Municipal Airport, Palmyra, Wisconsin. The airplane struck the ground, the left landing gear failed and the airplane nosed over. The pilot and his passenger were not injured. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan. The flight originated from Springfield Illinois about 1100. In a written report, the pilot stated that the wind direction was variable and that his ground speed appeared to be too fast. He stated that he elected to perform a go-around and stalled. He listed no mechanical deficiencies.
