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 said he was unable to maintain directional control after landing on a wet grass airstrip. The airplane went off the left side of the runway and collided with a ditch. Examination of the accident site disclosed tire tracks 200 feet beyond the runway threshold and 10 feet left of centerline.
