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 pilot stated to a New York State Police Officer that while attempting to takeoff from the runway his aircraft began to stall and therefore he tried to abort his takeoff; however, he was not able to fully abort and slid off the runway and impacted a fence before coming to a stop. Witnesses stated that they observed the airplane enter runway 29 at intersection H. Shortly after, the airplane was seen porpoising toward the end of the runway before it skidded off the end of the runway and down an embankment. Runway 29 is 4,451 x 150 foot long and intersection H is located about one third down the runway.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to obtain adequate airspeed for takeoff which resulted in a stall, runway overrun down an embankment, and collision with a fence. A factor in accident was the pilot not utilizing the full length of the runway for takeoff.
