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.

WPR13CA200

The pilot reported that just before touchdown a gust of wind struck the airplane and lifted the right wing, which resulted in the left wheel contacting the runway. The airplane veered left, and the pilot initiated a go-around. However, the airplane did not gain enough altitude to clear the chain link fence on the left side of the runway. The landing gear struck the fence, and the airplane nosed over, substantially damaging the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during landing in gusting wind conditions, and the airplane’s subsequent collision with a fence during the go-around attempt.

Full Narrative

The pilot reported that just before touchdown a gust of wind struck the airplane and lifted the right wing, which resulted in the left wheel contacting the runway. The airplane veered off to the left, and the pilot initiated a go-around. The airplane did not gain enough altitude before the landing gear collided with a chain link fence along the left side of the runway. The airplane subsequently nosed over substantially damaging the left wing. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
