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 the airplane hit hard upon touchdown and bounced. The pilot tried to recover by applying full power and initiating a go-around but realized that the airplane was not climbing at a sufficient rate to clear power lines. As the pilot pulled back on the control stick to try to increase the rate of climb, the airplane stalled. The pilot pushed the controls forward to recover from the stall and maneuvered the airplane toward a swamp area to avoid impacting trees. The airplane landed hard in the swamp area beyond the extended runway centerline and sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing. A postaccident examination of the airplane did not reveal evidence of mechanical malfunctions which could have contributed to the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper flare, which resulted in a bounced landing, and subsequent loss of control during an attempted go-around maneuver.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that the airplane hit hard upon touchdown and bounced. The pilot tried to recover by applying full power and initiating a go-around but realized that the airplane was not climbing at a sufficient rate to clear a set of power lines. As the pilot pulled back on the control stick to try to increase the rate of climb, the airplane stalled. The pilot pushed the controls forward to recover from the stall and maneuvered the airplane toward a swamp area to avoid impacting a stand of trees. The airplane landed hard in the swamp area beyond the extended runway centerline, and sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and left wing. A postaccident examination by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector did not reveal evidence of mechanical malfunctions which could have contributed to the accident.
