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 flight instructor of the airplane reported that, during the landing flare, the student pilot flared too high. The flight instructor directed the student pilot to initiate a go-around. The student pilot raised the airplane’s nose but did not advance the throttle to takeoff power. The flight instructor assumed control of the airplane, applied full power, and retracted the flaps to 25°. Subsequently, the airplane aerodynamically stalled and impacted the runway surface, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and empennage. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The flight instructor’s delayed remedial action, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and abnormal contact with the runway. Contributing to the accident was the student pilot’s improper landing flare and go-around.
