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.
Kingfisher, OK
According to the pilot, during his first attempt for landing, he approached the runway too fast and performed a go-around. On the second approach, the airplane entered 'ground effect [which] caused extended float.' The pilot reported that the airplane touched down approximately 1/3 of the way down the 2,000 foot long wet grass runway. The airplane began to 'slide,' and it overran the end of the runway. The airplane then crossed a paved road and entered a ditch before coming to rest.
the pilot's misjudgment of distance and speed, and his failure to attain a proper touchdown point, while landing. Related factors were: the short/wet runway, and uneven terrain and ditch beyond the end of the runway.
