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 June 23, 2004, at 1850 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172P, N65612, was substantially damaged when it impacted the ground after takeoff from the Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport (SGH), Springfield, Ohio. The student pilot was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local instructional flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. According to the pilot, the purpose of the flight was to practice touch-and-go landings at SGH. He performed two landings without any problems, and then during climbout of the third approach, the airplane "dropped" and impacted the runway, first on its main landing gear, and then on its nose landing gear. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane.
