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 September 14, 1994, at 1030 central daylight time, a Cessna 172M, N1367U, was substantially damaged during landing near Oil Trough, Arkansas. The student pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the supervised solo flight. According to the pilot, he was landing on a grass strip and made his approach "a little too high and a little too fast." He did not realize the grass was wet with dew. During the landing roll he attempted to slow down by applying the brakes. Directional control was lost and the airplane slid sideways coming to rest up against a hangar. The left wing spar and an engine mount sustained substantial damage.
