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.

WHILE CONDUCTING AN ILS APPROACH IN MARGINAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE AIRCRAFT CROSSED THE THRESHOLD DISPLACED TO THE LEFT OF CENTERLINE. THE PILOT CONTINUED THE APPROACH AND LANDED HARD APPROXIMATELY 3000 FEET FROM THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD ON THE LEFT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE RIGHT PROPELLER CONTACTED THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE LEFT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY, AND COLLAPSED THE REMAINING LANDING GEAR. AFTER SLIDING APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET, THE AIRCRAFT REENTERED THE CONFINES OF THE RUNWAY AND SLID TO A STOP.
NTSB Probable Cause
FAILURE BY THE PILOT TO FOLLOW IFR PROCEDURES IN NOT EXECUTING A MISSED APPROACH WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD WITH IMPROPER ALIGNMENT AND IMPROPER DESCENT RATE FOR LANDING. A FACTOR WAS: MARGINAL WEATHER CONDITIONS.
