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.

According to the pilot, during the landing on the 2,420-foot long runway, he touched down about half way down the runway. He applied "heavy braking," but felt the wheels skidding and eased off on the brakes. He decided not to go around as he was "too far down the runway" when he realized he would not be able to stop before overrunning the runway. The airplane exited the end of the runway, traveled down an embankment and impacted a fence.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to achieve the proper touchdown point, which resulted in a runway overrun and collision with a fence.
