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.

Full Narrative

On February 10, 2001, at 1307 hours Pacific standard time, a Cessna 195A, N95U, sustained substantial damage when it departed runway 13L and nosed over on landing at the Palm Springs Regional airport, Palm Springs, California. The airplane was owned and operated, under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91, by the Certified Flight Instructor, who along with his Airline Transport Pilot rated dual student, was not injured. Visual metrological conditions prevailed. No flight plan was filed for the instructional flight, which originated from Borego Springs, California, approximately 1230.
