Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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 62-hour student was unable to recover from a bounced landing and lost control of the single-engine airplane while landing on runway 01. Runway 01 was described as a 5,602-foot-long, by 100-foot-wide asphalt dry runway. The pilot made a normal approach for landing but reported touching down on all three wheels and then "ballooning." During the second touch-down, the airplane impacted the runway in a nose low attitude and the nose landing gear assembly collapsed. The engine firewall sustained structural damage. Weather was reported as clear skies, 10 miles visibility, with wind from 310 degrees at 6 knots, and an altimeter setting of 30.34 inches of Mercury.
The student pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing resulting in the collapse of the nose landing gear.

Runway 01 was described as a 5,602-foot-long, by 100-foot-wide asphalt dry runway. The solo student pilot reported that after filing a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan, she proceeded to her first destination on her solo cross country flight. Before reaching the airport, she listened to the automated surface observing system (ASOS) and announced her landing intentions on the radio.
