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
WPR22LA050

The pilot reported that, during a cross-country flight, he was concerned with the low fuel status and determined he would not have enough fuel to continue to the intended destination. He looked for a place to land and while approaching a small valley, he noticed a private, 25-foot-wide airstrip and opted to perform a precautionary landing. He circled the airstrip and while on the approach and trying to keep the airspeed as slow as possible the airplane stalled. The left wing collided with the ground and was substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed while on approach for landing which, resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain.
