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, during the landing roll in the tailwheel-equipped airplane, a gust of wind struck the airplane and it veered to the left. The pilot said that he added full power to conduct a go around; however, he could not get the airplane to align with the runway centerline. The airplane exited the runway surface and impacted a mobile home, substantially damaging the fuselage and both wings. Shortly after the accident the weather observation system at the airport reported that the wind was variable at five knots. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during an attempted go around after landing, resulting in a runway excursion.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that during the landing roll in a tailwheel-equipped airplane, a gust of wind struck the airplane and it veered to the left. The pilot said that full power was added to conduct a go around; however, the pilot could not get the airplane to “point down the runway.” The airplane exited the runway environment and the airplane impacted a mobile home, substantially damaging the fuselage and both wings. The weather observation system at the accident airport reported shortly after the accident that the wind was variable at 5 knots. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine prior to the accident.
