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.

DFW07CA047
The 409-hour private pilot lost control of the single-engine airplane while landing on a private grass airstrip. The pilot reported executing a short field approach to runway 18, a 2,800-foot long by 50-foot wide wet grass airstrip. During the landing roll, the airplane touched down beyond the normal touchdown point and the pilot applied brakes. However, braking action was nil due to the wet runway surface and the airplane overran the departure end of the runway and impacted a parked trailer near the departure end of the runway. The pilot and passenger exited the airplane through the main cabin door with no injuries. Weather reported at the nearest weather reporting airport, located approximately 15 miles west of the accident location, was clear skies, 10 miles visibility, with 10-knot winds from the west.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's touchdown too far down the runway resulting in an overrun. Factors were the wet grass runway and the trailer.
