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.

On September 24, 2006, about 1130 mountain standard time, an experimental Cleberg, Glastar Sportsman 2+2 GS-2, N24AZ, veered off the runway and nosed over at Flying Diamond Airport, Tucson, Arizona. The owner/pilot was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage. The local personal flight departed Marana Regional Airport, Marana, Arizona, about 1100. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. The approximate global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the primary wreckage were 31 degrees 56.28 minutes north latitude and 111 degrees 07.13 minutes west longitude. In a written statement, the pilot stated that she flew a normal landing pattern and approach. As the airplane touched down, it was going too fast, and bounced back into the air. After it touched down again, the airplane departed the runway, hit some vegetation, and nosed over. The pilot stated that the weather was not a factor, and the accident was strictly pilot error.
