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 performed a normal landing approach and said he flew over the numbers at his normal airspeed of 77 knots. The airplane floated as the pilot began the flare, and he noticed that the ground speed was very fast. He continued the flare and realized that the airplane was about 10 to 15 feet above the runway when the stall warning horn sounded. The pilot applied full power and right rudder to perform a go-around, but the airplane did not climb as expected and drifted to the left. He also added right aileron control inputs to maintain airplane control, but the airplane continued to descend, and the left wing touched the ground and hit a taxiway light. The airplane veered off the runway and impacted the ground before coming to rest upright. The winds at the time were from 220 degrees at 6 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to attain and maintain an adequate airspeed during a go around, that resulted in a stall/mush. Contributing to the accident was the tailwind condition.

Full Narrative

In a written statement, the pilot reported that he performed a normal landing approach to runway 12 at Laramie Regional Airport. As the airplane entered the traffic pattern, the pilot indicated he was a little high, but at pattern altitude as he came abeam the runway approach end. Upon turning to final approach, he added the final flaps. He was on the glide path at the normal airspeed and crossed over the runway numbers at 77 knots. The airplane floated as he began the flare, and he noticed that the ground speed was very fast. The pilot continued the flare "as normal" when the stall warning horn sounded. He looked down and saw that the airplane was about 10 to 15 feet above the runway. He applied full power and right rudder to perform a go-around, but the airplane did not climb as expected and drifted to the left. He also added right aileron control inputs to maintain airplane control, but there were no positive results from the manipulation of the aileron. The airplane continued to descend, and the left wing touched the ground and hit a taxiway light. The airplane exited the runway and impacted the ground before coming to rest upright.
