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.
Moriarty, NM
According to the pilot, he inadvertently bounced the airplane two times while performing a landing on runway 26. He elected to abort the landing and perform a go-around. The pilot stated that after the second bounce he lost his crosswind correction and the airplane departed the runway to the north. One of the main landing gear contacted the ground and dug in. The airplane rotated around 120 to 180 degrees and came to rest on its belly, resulting in substantial damage. An examination of the airplane's systems revealed no anomalies.

According to the pilot, he inadvertently bounced the airplane two times while performing a landing on runway 26 (7,700 by 75 feet, asphalt). He elected to abort the landing and perform a go-around. The pilot stated that after the second bounce he lost his crosswind correction and the airplane departed the runway to the north. One of the main landing gear contacted the ground and dug in. The airplane rotated around 120 to 180 degrees and came to rest on is belly. Both main landing gear separated. The airframe on the left side, under the cabin door, was bent and the fuselage aft of the cabin door was wrinkled. An examination of the airplane's systems, conducted by the FAA, revealed no anomalies.
