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.

On July 29, 2008, about 1420 Alaska daylight time, a Cessna 207 airplane, N9952M, sustained substantial damage when it collided with terrain following an aborted landing at the Quinhagak Airport, Quinhagak, Alaska. The airplane was being operated by Grant Aviation, Anchorage, Alaska, as a visual flight rules (VFR) positioning flight under Title 14, CFR Part 91, when the accident occurred.

He said he applied full right rudder and aileron, then applied full power to abort the landing, but the airplane exited the runway to the left and impacted terrain. The pilot said there were no known mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident, and that prior landings that day were uneventful.
