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.

NTSB Number
GAA19CA111
The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during touchdown with the flaps extended, he heard the stall warning horn. Immediately following touchdown, a wind gust caused the airplane to balloon about 10 ft and drift left. The pilot applied power to go around; however, the airplane continued to drift and subsequently impacted the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. At the time of the accident, the pilot was landing the airplane on runway 16 with a crosswind from 250° at 16 knots, gusting to 28 knots. The pilot recommended less flaps and more airspeed when landing in a crosswind.

Full Narrative
The pilot of the tail wheel equipped airplane reported that, during the landing touchdown, with flaps extended, he heard the stall warning horn. Immediately following the touchdown, a gust of wind caused the airplane to balloon up about 10 ft and drift left. The pilot applied power to go-around, however the airplane continued to drift and subsequently collided with the ground. The airplane sustained substantially damaged to the fuselage and both wings. At the time of the accident the airplane was landing runway 16 with a crosswind from 250° at 16 knots, gusting to 28 knots. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
