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 student pilot reported he did not flare enough during the landing and the nose gear touched down prior to the main gear. The airplane then veered off the left side of the runway where it traveled through the grass prior to contacting a bank in the terrain.

On November 5, 1998, at 0900 central standard time, a Cessna 150M, N704LV, collided with the terrain following a loss of directional control while landing on runway 36 (4,206' x 75') at the Skyhaven Airport, Warrensburg, Missouri. The student pilot was not injured and the airplane was substantially damaged. The 14 CFR Part 91 student solo training flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan. The local flight originated from the Skyhaven Airport at 0850 cst. The accident occurred during the student pilot's first solo flight. He reported, "As I came into land, I didn't flare enough and came down on my front wheel. I then came down on my right rear wheel." He reported the airplane was headed toward the left side of the runway once all three gear were on the ground. The airplane traveled off the runway and continued through the grass prior to contacting a bank in the terrain.
