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.

WPR23LA169

The flight instructor reported that, during a practice power-off landing with a student pilot at the controls, he recommended using flaps to provide some additional lift to the airplane as it approached the runway. The airplane rapidly lost airspeed and lift, and subsequently landed hard. The student pilot applied full power with the intention of executing a go-around. The flight instructor then took control and promptly pulled the throttle, because he believed the propellor struck the runway. The airplane veered to the right and subsequently collided with terrain, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing and the flight instructor’s delayed remedial action.
