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 he performed a landing using 30° flap setting for practice and the airplane bounced. He decided to perform a go-around because he wanted to perform a better landing. He applied full engine power and the airplane pitched up and entered a left bank that the pilot was not able to correct. The airplane continued in the left bank until striking trees on the left side of the runway. The airplane received substantial damage to the fuselage, right wing and empennage. 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 aircraft control during the attempted go-around.
