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.

When the pilot was landing on runway 19, the airplane bounced twice on the runway. The pilot added full power in an attempt to go-around; however, the airplane drifted left and impacted trees off the left side of the runway, where it became entangled, and the empennage separated. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. The recorded wind near the accident site, about the time of the accident, was from 280 degrees at 6 knots.

Full Narrative
The pilot reported that he was performing a landing to runway 19, a 2,942-foot-long, 40-foot-wide, asphalt runway. During the landing, the airplane bounced twice on the runway. The pilot added full power in an attempt to go-around; however, the airplane drifted left and impacted trees off the left side of the runway. Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that during the impact, the empennage separated and the wreckage was entangled in a tree. The pilot added that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. The recorded wind near the accident site, about the time of the accident, was from 280 degrees at 6 knots.
