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 November 13, 1993, at about 1615 eastern standard time, a Scott Longeze, N83TS, experimental homebuilt airplane, registered to Talmadge Scott, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, crashed on landing. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The private pilot sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The flight originated from Twelve Oaks Airport about 1 hour 40 minutes before the accident. The pilot stated to the NTSB investigator-in-charge that on landing, the nosewheel collapsed, and the airplane nosed over. Examination of the nose gear by the FAA and the registered owner revealed the nose gear down relay on the landing gear retraction/extension assembly had failed for undetermined reasons.
