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.

GAA19CA205
The pilot reported that, during landing at a remote site and shortly after touchdown, the airplane veered right as he felt a "strong left crosswind" push the airplane right. He applied full power to go around, but the airplane continued right, the main landing gear impacted a snowbank, and the left wing impacted terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an attempted go-around, which resulted in impact with a snowbank.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that, during landing at a remote site, shortly after touchdown, the airplane veered right as he felt a "strong left crosswind" push the airplane to the right. He applied full power to go around, but the airplane continued right, and the main landing gear impacted a snowbank and the left wing impacted terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The automated weather observation station located on an airport about 13 NM away reported that, about 30 minutes before and after the accident, the wind was 360° at 6 knots. The pilot reported that the wind was light and variable.
