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.

THE PILOT FLEW INTO A HEAVY RAIN SHOWER WHILE AT CRUISE AND DECIDED TO LAND. HE MADE ONE UNSUCCESSFUL VFR APPROACH. ON THE SECOND APPROACH, HE LANDED LONG ON THE RUNWAY, WHICH WAS COVERED WITH WATER. HE RAISED THE FLAPS DURING THE LANDING ROLL. HE THEN DECIDED THAT HE WOULD BE UNABLE TO STOP ON THE AVAILABLE RUNWAY, SO HE ATTEMPTED TO TAKEOFF AGAIN. THE AIRPLANE BECAME AIRBORNE, BUT AIRPLANE CONTROL WAS NOT ATTAINED AND A SMALL BUILDING WAS STRUCK BY THE LEFT WING.
