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.

During a full stop landing, the pilot was advised by the air traffic control tower to exit the 4,128-foot runway at the end. The aircraft proceeded beyond the exit point and continued off the end of the runway and impacted an airport perimeter fence.

The airplane was registered to C S Mikate Investments of Plymouth, Wisconsin, and operated by Wright Flyers Aviation Inc., of San Antonio, Texas. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured.
