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.

SEA06CA173
The pilot-in-command, who held a commercial pilot certificate, was letting his passenger, a certified flight instructor without a current medical, execute a simulated engine-out approach to a full-stop landing. While trying to stretch the final glide, the passenger let the airspeed get too slow, and the aircraft started descending at an excessive rate. The pilot-in-command did not take any remedial action, and the aircraft impacted the terrain about 40 feet short of the runway, resulting in substantial damage to the airframe.
NTSB Probable Cause
The failure of the pilot-rated-passenger to maintain adequate airspeed on final during a simulated engine-out approach, resulting in the aircraft descending into the terrain about 40 feet short of the runway, and the failure of the pilot-in-command to take remedial action.
