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 airplane was landing on runway 18, a 2,850-foot-long, 100-foot wide, turf runway. The pilot attempted to touchdown near a hangar; however, the airplane floated. The airplane then touched down about 400 feet from the end of the runway. The airplane overran the runway, traveled into a wet field, and came to rest inverted. The reported wind at an airport located approximately 10 miles north of the accident site, at 1153, was from 340 degrees at 8 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, and his failure to initiate a go-around, which resulted in an overrun during landing. A factor in the accident was the tail wind.
