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.

According to the safety pilot, the purpose of the flight was for recency of experience for the private pilot. After departing runway 13, the flight remained in right hand traffic for landings. The safety pilot reported that the touchdown was normal but the airplane did bounce and became airborne again. The safety pilot further stated that the second touchdown "side loaded" the right main landing gear. Efforts by the pilot to regain control of the airplane failed. The airplane veered off the left side of the runway, into mud, and flipped inverted. The pilots did not report a mechanical problem with the airplane during the attempted landing. The prevailing winds at the time of the accident were 140 degrees at 5 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll that resulted in a nose over after the airplane departed the runway surface. A factor is muddy terrain.
