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.

CEN12CA286
While practicing a simulated single engine landing during an instructional flight in a twin-engine airplane, the pilot receiving instruction approached the runway at a high rate of descent. The pilot initiated the landing flare too high and allowed the airspeed to decay. The flight instructor told the pilot to perform a go-around. However, during the go-around procedure, the pilot raised the gear, inadvertently retracted the flaps fully, and then commanded a 15- to 20-degree left bank, resulting in an aerodynamic stall. The instructor took control of the airplane and leveled the wings, but the airplane touched down hard and departed the left side of the runway. The fuselage and left wing sustained substantial damage during the runway excursion.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's inadvertent selection of flap 0 degrees during the go-around and the flight instructor’s inadequate supervision, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall at low altitude.
Full Narrative
While practicing a simulated engine-out landing, the private pilot approached the runway at a high rate of descent. The pilot initiated the landing flare too high and allowed the airspeed to decay. The certified flight instructor (CFI) directed him to make a go-around. During the go-around procedure, the private pilot raised the gear and flaps, and commanded a 15-20 degree left bank at which time the CFI took control of the airplane. The private pilot had inadvertently selected flaps 0 degrees and when the flaps fully retracted, the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall and touched down hard. The airplane departed the left side of the runway and came to a stop. Substantial damage was sustained to the fuselage and left wing.
