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-in-command's/CFI improper supervision of the dual student during a simulated short field approach for landing. This resulted in an in-flight loss of control (inadvertent stall), and subsequent hard landing.
Full Narrative
On March 17, 1995, about 1100 eastern standard time, N3470T, a Cessna 177, registered to and operated by Gordon Air Service landed hard at Tamiami Airport, Miami, Florida, while on a 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. The airplane was substantially damaged and the instructor and student pilot reported no injuries. The flight had originated from the same airport about 1 hour earlier. The instructor stated the student was making a simulated barrier approach. He informed the student to lower the nose. The student overcompensated, pulled back on the flight controls, and stalled the airplane, resulting in a hard landing. The accident was reported to the NTSB on March 20, 1995.
