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 ACFT MADE A HARD LANDING, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR AFTER WHICH A FIRE STARTED. THE PILOT HAD APPROACHED THE ARPT TOOHIGH. THE TOWER RECOGNIZED THIS AND ASKED THE PILOT IF HE NEEDED TO MAKE A 360 DEGREE TURN. THE PILOT DID A 360 BUT WAS STILL TOO HIGH SO HE DID A 'FORWARD SLIP' AT 70 MPH WITH FULL FLAPS TO WITHIN 100 FT OF THE RWY. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWNTHE ACFT AIRSPEED WAS LESS THAN 63 KTS. THE ACFT BOUNCED TWICE BEFORE COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR. AT ONE POINT THE PILOT CONSIDERED A GO-AROUND BUT NEVER INITIATED IT.
