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
ANC22LA071
The pilot reported that he decided to land with a tailwind to avoid landing into the setting sun. The remote site he was landing at was approximately 800 ft long. He said that his touchdown speed was “fast” and when the airplane touched down, it bounced back into the air. He attempted a go-around, but the airplane “did not build speed back up,” at the end of the strip he opted to reduce engine power. The airplane subsequently landed in rough terrain and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's delayed decision to execute a go-around maneuver while landing with a tailwind into a short strip, which resulted in a runway overrun and subsequent loss of control.
