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 aborted the takeoff, the airplane overran the runway, struck a fence, and it came to rest in a cemetery. According to the pilot, he used 'one notch of flaps' for takeoff. He indicated that about halfway down the runway 'with full throttle. The plane was up 10 feet. It came down and then I aborted the flight.' The pilot stated the speed was 80 MPH when he decided to abort. He reported no mechanical malfunction.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's inadequate decision and his delay in aborting the takeoff, which resulted in an overrun of the runway and collision with obstacles
