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 airplane impacted the ground during an attempted go-around. The pilot flew the approach at a higher altitude than anticipated but decided to continue. Prior to landing, about 30 feet agl, the local air traffic controller instructed the pilot to perform a go-around. The pilot initiated the procedure with application of full throttle, and he increased the airplane's pitch attitude. When the pilot saw he was gaining altitude, he retracted the landing gear and the flaps. The airplane then stalled and impacted the runway.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain an adequate airspeed during a go-around, which resulted in a stall.

Full Narrative

On October 26, 2007, about 1205 Pacific daylight time, a Beech A36, N16SF, stalled and impacted the runway at Camarillo Airport, Camarillo, California. Flying A36 LLC was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot and one passenger were not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage during the attempted go-around maneuver. The personal flight departed Paso Robles Municipal Airport, Paso Robles, California, about 1115, with a planned destination of Camarillo. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. In a written report to the National Transportation Safety Board, the pilot stated he flew a traffic pattern approach for landing and he entered on the downwind leg. After turning final, he realized he was at a higher altitude than anticipated but he decided to continue the approach. Prior to landing, about 30 feet agl, the local air traffic controller instructed the pilot to perform a go-around. The pilot initiated the procedure with application of full throttle, and increased the pitch attitude of the airplane. When the pilot saw he was gaining altitude, he retraced the landing gear and the flaps. The airplane stalled and impacted the runway. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine. The airplane sustained damage to the landing gear structure and fuselage.
