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 airplane was substantially damaged when it overran the end of the runway during landing. The pilot reported that there was little or no wind as he approached to land. He noted that construction vehicles in the area required a steeper-than-normal approach angle. The aircraft was configured with full flaps, however, "final [approach] was flown too fast, [approximately] 90 [miles per hour]." The airplane touched down over halfway down the runway. The pilot reportedly applied full brakes but was unable to stop on the pavement. The aircraft subsequently skidded off the end of the runway, encountering a ditch and a roadway. In his statement, the pilot added that "a go around was not deemed safe after the middle of the runway even though touch down had not occurred because of rising terrain and tall trees off the south end of the [runway]." He also noted that before landing, a non-negotiable go-around point should have been selected.
The pilot's failure to attain a proper touchdown point on the runway during landing. Contributing factors were the pilot's failure to perform a go-around, the ditch and the roadway encountered during the overrun.
On July 25, 2004, at 1710 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-235, N9290W, piloted by a commercial pilot, was substantially damaged when it overran runway 17 (2,480 feet by 40 feet, concrete) during landing at the North Omaha Airport (3NO), Omaha, Nebraska. The personal flight was operating under 14 CFR Part 91 without a flight plan. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The pilot and three passengers reported no injuries. The flight departed Clinton Municipal Airport (CWI), Clinton, Iowa. In his written statement, the pilot noted that the winds were reported as calm by the automated weather observing system at nearby Millard Airport (MLE), located 11 miles south of 3NO. He reported that he entered left traffic for runway 17 at 3NO, at which time the wind sock indicated no-wind.
