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
ANC22LA072

The pilot reported that, during a go around maneuver at an off-airport site, he “did not maintain sufficient speed leading to a low wing stall at insufficient altitude to correct.” Subsequently, the airplane impacted terrain, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing, wing lift strut, and fuselage. 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 improper monitoring and failure to maintain airspeed during a critical phase of flight, which resulted in an exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack, an aerodynamic stall, and subsequent impact with terrain.
