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 approached runway 33 with full flaps and the pilot stated he touched down "a little hard" and bounced, then touched down a second time. The left landing gear collapsed and the airplane veered off the left side of the runway and collided into small trees. Examination of the accident site revealed the airplane came to rest approximately 150 feet from where it touched down. Examination of the airplane revealed the left main landing gear collapsed, firewall bent, propeller damaged, cowling crushed and damage to the nose wheel strut and left wing.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing, resulting in a hard landing, and the subsequent on ground collision with trees.
