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.

Full Narrative
On March 8, 1994, about 1130 eastern standard time, N714MJ, a Cessna 150M, experienced a nose gear collapse, on landing at Vero Beach, Florida, New Hibiscus Airport while on a 14 CFR Part 91 solo instructional flight. The airplane is registered to and operated by Citrus Grove Aviation Inc. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the student pilot reported no injuries. The flight had originated from the same airport about 5 minutes earlier. The instructor pilot cleared the student pilot for a local solo flight and observed the airplane land hard on the first landing attempt. The airplane ballooned and landed on the nose gear, which collapsed, and the airplane veered off the runway.
