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 reported that he was landing after a local flight. He stated that during the landing flare he “stalled the plane about 10 feet AGL [above ground level].” The airplane sustained substantial damage when the right wing tip contacted the ground. The pilot performed a go-around and the airplane's left wing contacted the runway during the go-around. The pilot’s accident report listed no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during landing, which resulted in a stall.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that he was landing after a local flight. He stated that during the landing flare he “stalled the plane about 10 feet AGL [above ground level].” The airplane sustained substantial damage when the right wing tip contacted the ground. The pilot stated that he did not know that the right brake system had been damaged. The airplane exited the runway and the pilot added power to gain airspeed. The left wing contacted the runway. The pilot requested a go-around. The second attempt to land was uneventful “without further damage to the aircraft.” The air traffic controller requested that the pilot make a 180-degree turn and taxi to the ramp. As the pilot stopped, he realized that he did not have right brakes and reported it to the air traffic controller. The pilot’s accident report listed no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.
