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.

CEN24LA355

The pilot reported that during a go-around, the right-wing leading-edge slat retracted to the stowed position, and the airplane rolled to the right. The pilot attempted to correct with opposite aileron; however, the airplane continued the right roll and impacted the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, fuselage, and the empennage. According to the airplane kit manufacturer, the wing leading-edge slats are self-deploying and self-stowing. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot’s failure to maintain airplane control during a go-around which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain.
