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
CHI08CA007
The airplane received substantial damage during a forced landing. The pilot reported that, while practicing a high speed taxi, the nose lifted off when the airplane was about halfway down the runway. The pilot elected to continue the climb in order get a "feel of the plane" and return to the runway rather than attempting to "force" a landing on the remaining runway in an "awkward" situation. During the return to the runway, the airplane reportedly could not maintain altitude because it was behind the "power curve." The pilot then attempted an off airport landing on a field during which the airplane impacted a group of trees along the field edge. The pilot had accumulated a total flight time of 0.3 hours in the make and model of accident airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
The inadequate preflight planning and preparation by the pilot, the proper climb rate not obtained/maintained by the pilot, and the airspeed not obtained/maintained by the pilot. Contributing factors were the lack of total experience in the type of aircraft and the trees.
