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 made a normal landing on runway 16 in his amateur-built experimental airplane. The pilot reported that the airplane's left brake became dysfunctional during rollout, and he was unable to stop before reaching the runway's departure end. The airplane rolled over the runway's end, entered a ditch and nosed over. The airplane had decelerated to about 10 miles per hour when it exited the runway. An examination of the airplane's brake system revealed that the left side master brake cylinder had failed.

NTSB Probable Cause

The failure of the left side master brake cylinder that led to a loss of braking capability during landing rollout. A contributing factor was the presence of a ditch next to the runway's end.
