Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Lago Vista, TX
The pilot stated that she entered the traffic pattern for runway 15, and established a stabilized approach with the airplane configured for landing. She reported that the airplane touched down in the runway landing zone; however, the airplane bounced and she added engine power in order to stabilize the airplane. At that time, the airplane encountered a gust of wind which resulted in the left main landing gear departing the runway pavement. The pilot noted that she added full engine power to initiate a go-around, and the airplane pitched up due to the added power and the pitch trim positioned for landing approach. She attempted to reduce the flap deflection to 10 degrees; however, the flaps may have been raised completely contributing to an inadvertent aerodynamic stall at a low altitude. The pilot noted that there were no malfunctions or failures associated with the airplane prior to the accident. She commented that due to the local terrain it is common to experience some turbulence on approach to runway 15. She reported that the wind was from 170 degrees at 6 knots, with moderate turbulence. Wind conditions recorded at local airports were southerly at 10 to 13 knots, with gusts to 17 knots.
The pilot’s inadequate recovery from a bounced landing in crosswind conditions, and an inadvertent aerodynamic stall during the subsequent go-around attempt.
