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 PLT/OWNER STATED THAT THE HOME BUILT ACFT HAD POOR FORWARD VISIBILITY, WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH FLAPS & REQUIRED A HIGH APCH SPEED. ALSO, HE SAID IT TENDED TO FLOAT AFTER FLARING TO LAND & HAD POOR BRAKES. ADDITIONALLY, THE ARPT ELEVATION WAS 5270 FT & THE TEMP WAS 79 DEG. SINCE THE RWY WAS SHORT FOR THIS ACFT, HE MADE A LOW FINAL APCH AT THE MIN APCH SPEED. WHILE ON FINAL, HIS SINK RATE INCREASED SUDDENLY. THE PLT APPLIED POWER, BUT THE TURBOCHARGED ENG WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE ACFT STRUCK TREES ABOUT 50 FT SHORT OF THE RWY & CRASHED.
