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.

CEN10CA490
The pilot reported that he was distracted by his passenger, who was seated in the back of the airplane. He landed with an 18 knot tailwind and, after being unable to slow the airplane, attempted to abort the landing by abruptly applying full engine power. He advanced the throttle too fast and the engine power did not respond. He realized that he had flooded the engine and maneuvered the airplane away from approaching obstacles at the end of the runway. The airplane continued off the runway and crossed a ditch on to a golf course before coming to a stop; it sustained structural damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical deficiencies with the airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain a stabilized approach, which resulted in a loss of control on landing with a tailwind.
Full Narrative
The private pilot reported that he was distracted by his passenger, who was seated in the back of his single-engine, turbo-prop equipped airplane, and landed on a runway with an 18 knot tailwind. The pilot was unable to slow down and attempted to abort the landing by abruptly applying full power to go around. The pilot said he pushed the throttle in too fast and got no power. he said he realized he had "flooded the engine." The pilot then maneuvered the airplane away from approaching obstacles at the end of the runway and then went off the runway, and crossed a ditch on to a golf course before coming to a stop. The airplane sustained structural damage to the left wing. The left main landing gear and propeller were also damaged. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane.
