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.

ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, WHILE ON APPROACH TO THE DIMLY LIGHTED RUNWAY, HE DISCOVERED THAT THE AIRCRAFT LANDING LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. HIS RESEARCH OF THE PROBLEM DISCLOSED THAT THE LANDING LIGHT CIRCUIT BREAKER HAD POPPED, BUT AFTER RESETTING THE BREAKER, THE LANDING LIGHT STILL FAILED TO OPERATE. THE PILOT ELECTED TO CONTINUE THE APPROACH TO A LIGHTED AREA ON THE AIRPORT. THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN IN THE GRASS BETWEEN THE RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY, AND COLLIDED WITH A DEPRESSION IN THE GRASSY AREA.

NTSB Probable Cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO ESTABLISH A FINAL APPROACH COURSE TO THE RUNWAY SURFACE DURING A NIGHT LANDING. A FACTOR WAS THE INOPERATIVE AIRCRAFT LANDING LIGHT.
