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.

The pilot reported that during the landing flare a gust of wind pitched the nose of the airplane up. He then attempted to add power and go around, but the maneuver was unsuccessful with the pilot stating, “I believe both wings had stalled.” The airplane impacted the runway in a nose low attitude, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and right wing. 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 failure to maintain control of the airplane during an attempted go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and impact with the runway.
