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.

HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT IN THE REMAINING RUNWAY, AND THE AIRCRAFT WENT OVER A 20 FOOT DROP-OFF, 30 FEET PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY. TWO OTHER RUNWAYS WERE AVAILABLE TO THE PILOT. ONE WAS 3,250 FEET, AND THE OTHER WAS 7,020 FEET LONG.
NTSB Probable Cause
THE PILOT'S POOR PLANNING/DECISION. FACTORS INCLUDE SELECTING THE WRONG RUNWAY UNDER THE HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE CONDITIONS.
