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 CFI THOUGHT THE FLIGHT WOULD END SHORT OF THE INTENDED RUNWAY, BUT ELECTED TO LET THE STUDENT CONTINUE THE APPROACH. THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD AND BOUNCED. THE AIRPLANE DRIFTED LEFT, STARTED TO SETTLE AND THE CFI POWERED UP THE ENGINE FOR A GO-AROUND; HOWEVER, THE LEFT GEAR AND STABILATOR STRUCK THE VASI TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNWAY.

THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ALLOWED THE STUDENT TO CONTINUE A SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE TO A HARD LANDING, RESULTING IN A BOUNCED LANDING AND LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND A COLLISION WITH THE VASI.
