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 airline transport certificated pilot reported he was landing on a beach at the conclusion of a Title 14, CFR Part 135 on-demand flight with six passengers. During the landing roll, the nose wheel encountered soft sand, and was deflected sideways, resulting in structural damage to the firewall bulkhead. During a telephone conversation with the NTSB investigator-in-charge a day after the accident, the pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane, and that the landing was uneventful until the nose wheel sunk into the sand.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for landing, which resulted in structural damage during the landing roll when the airplane encountered soft sand.
