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 STUDENT WAS PRACTICING NIGHT LANDINGS UNDER SUPERVISION OF AN INSTRUCTOR. THERE WAS A 40 DEGREE LEFT CROSS- WIND PREVAILING AT 16 KNOTS. WHILE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED AND DRIFTED RIGHT. THE INSTRUCTOR THOUGHT THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM, SO HE DID NOT ASSUME CONTROL OF THE PLANE. HOWEVER, DURING THE NEXT TOUCHDOWN, THE PLANE STRUCK A SNOWBANK. THE SNOWBANK WAS PARALLEL TO THE RUNWAY AND WAS LOCATED ABOUT 20 FT INSIDE OF THE RUNWAY LIGHTS.
