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, AN ATP, HAD FLOWN THE AIRPLANE FROM THE SAME AIRPORT PREVIOUSLY. THE WEATHER WAS HOT & STICKY WITH THE DENSITY ALTITUDE ABOUT 2500 FEET. THE RUNWAY HAS AN UP SLOPE OF 2.2 DEGREES. AFTER TAKEOFF DOWNHILL, THE PILOT RETURNED FOR A TOUCH & GO LANDING, UPHILL & DOWNWIND. FBO PERSONNEL SAW THE AIRPLANE PASS OVER THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY AT ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF THE TOP OF THE WINDSOCK POLE. ANOTHER WITNESS OBSERVED THAT THE FLAPS WERE EXTENDED & WATCHED AS THE AIRCRAFT FLEW OVER A ROAD IN A NOSE HIGH ATTITUDE. THE WING TOUCHED A TREE, THE AIRCRAFT STALLED OFF ON THE LEFT WING, & DISAPPEARED BEHIND THE TREES. NO PREIMPACT MALFUNCTIONS WERE DISCOVERED WITH THE ENGINE.
NTSB Probable Cause
THE PILOT'S IMPROPER IN-FLIGHT DECISION WHEN HE LANDED DOWNWIND, AND BEYOND THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT. ADDITIONALLY, HE FAILED TO ATTAIN A SAFE CLIMB SPEED, WHICH RESULTED IN A STALL/SPIN. A FACTOR WAS THE HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE.
