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.

NTSB Number
MIA07CA101
After departure the flight proceeded to the destination airport and the pilot entered a standard downwind traffic pattern for runway 5. The pilot later reported that while on final approach he encountered a gust of wind. The airplane ballooned, and he heard the stall warning horn. The airplane touched down on the main landing gear then bounced. He added power in an effort to perform a go-around but did not achieve a positive rate of climb. The airplane touched down on the main landing gear, bounced, then landed again causing collapse of the nose landing gear. The airplane spun around and the left main landing gear collapsed.
NTSB Probable Cause
The delay by the pilot-in-command to recover from a bounced landing resulting in a hard landing and subsequent collapse of the nose and left main landing gears.
