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 veered off the runway and nosed over when the pilot attempted to execute a go-around. The pilot entered the landing pattern and made two landing approaches, both of which he terminated with a go-around. The pilot said that on his third approach he made a poor landing and attempted a go-around. He applied full power and the airplane veered left and ran off the side of the runway. The airplane nosed over when it encountered ploughed furrows adjacent to the runway. The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control.
