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.

At the conclusion of an uneventful multi-engine training flight, the pilot receiving instruction and flight instructor returned to the departure airport. They entered the traffic pattern with the intention of practicing a simulated single-engine inoperative approach to landing with the right engine simulated as inoperative. The pilot reported that after he extended the wing flaps on short final, he thought the airplane’s rate of descent was excessive. He applied corrective throttle inputs to the left engine, but at about 5 ft above the runway, decided to initiate a go-around by applying full power to the left engine only. The airplane turned aggressively to the right, and the flight instructor attempted to regain control of the airplane. However, the airplane continued to the right of the runway and impacted the adjacent grass covered surface before colliding with a hangar. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings. The flight instructor stated that although the airplane was slightly slow, he had determined that the landing was assured, so he was not expecting the pilot to perform a go-around. He briefed before landing that the pilot could use both engines during the landing rollout but did not explain that the pilot could use both engines for a go-around. The pilot and 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 flight instructor’s inadequate supervision of a dual student who attempted a go-around using one engine which resulted in a loss of control and impact with the ground.
