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.

CHI07CA295
The pilot was practicing high speed taxi operations on runway 27 (800 feet by 150 feet, turf) when the aircraft "took off unexpectedly." The pilot stated that he had gained too much altitude to safely land on the remaining runway, so he elected to fly a traffic pattern and return for landing. The pilot stated that upon touchdown the aircraft "bounced." He reported that he added power in order to avoid a stall; however, the aircraft "tracked left" and headed for some hangars. The pilot stated that in order to avoid the hangars he executed a "hard left turn" and subsequently stalled the airplane. The airplane impacted on its left wing, followed by "the ground, nose first on the right side."
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing and his failure to maintain directional control during the attempted go-around. An additional cause was the inadvertent stall as the pilot maneuvered to avoid the hangar. Contributing factors were the attempted go-around, the maneuver to avoid the hangar, and the presence of the hangar.
