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 June 19, 1996, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150L, N11532, registered to a private owner, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91, local, training flight, crashed in the vicinity of Sanford, Florida. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged, and the student pilot was not injured. The pilot was performing touch-and-go landings on runway 9R. On the accident landing, the flight was observed on short final drifting to the north of the runway. The flight touched down, departed the left side of the runway into the grass, and nosed over. The pilot's father, and her flight instructor, stated to the NTSB that he asked his daughter if she could have applied the brakes unevenly when she touched down. She could not recall exactly what happened, but she told her dad "that it was possible." The reported winds at the time of the accident were from 040 degrees at 5.
