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.

SINCE SHE DID NOT HEAR ANY OTHER TRAFFIC IN THE AREA, SHE PROCEEDED TO MAKE A PATTERN FOR LANDING. SHE CAME IN TOO FAST AND THE PLANE BALLOONED, SO SHE ELECTED FOR A GO-AROUND. ON HER NEXT APPROACH, SHE LANDED SHORT OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH AN EMBANKMENT.
