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 of a Cessna T182T stated that while approaching the destination airport, he checked the weather and observed the winds to be from 010 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 20 knots. He reported that based on this weather observation he mistakenly chose to land on runway 22. During the landing approach the pilot reported that the airplane was not descending as it normally did, and that he was unable to "get it down." The airplane touched down about mid-point of the 2,999-foot long runway and bounced three times. The pilot then attempted to abort the landing by applying full power and performing a go-around. The airplane climbed approximately 30 feet and then began to drift left. The airplane then descended and collided with swampy terrain 250 feet beyond the end of the runway. The pilot and both passengers reported hearing the stall warning horn sound continuously during the go-around sequence. The recorded wind at the airport, about the time of the accident, was from 020 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 21 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during a go-around. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's improper weather evaluation and a tailwind.
