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 WAS ATTEMPTING TO LAND IN WHAT HE TERMED A 'RELATIVELY UNFAMILIAR' AIRCRAFT TO A PRIVATE DIRT STRIP ON HIS FARM. ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT, HE ENCOUNTERED A DOWNDRAFT, CAUSING HIM TO PERFORM A GO AROUND. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THE AIRCRAFT'S AIRSPEED SLOWED. THE PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER, BUT HE SAID THAT THE POWER APPLICATION AGGRAVATED THE SITUATION. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD ABOUT 30 FEET SHORT OF THE DIRT STRIP, HIT A FENCE, AND NOSED OVER.
NTSB Probable Cause
THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A PROPER AIRSPEED DURING THE APPROACH AND AN INADVERTENT ENTRY INTO A STALL/MUSH WHICH RESULTED IN A HARD LANDING.
