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
CEN09CA599
The pilot stated that she attempted a landing with a 10-degree flap setting. Calm winds were reported by the pilot. The airplane, which has tricycle-type landing gear, touched down in a "perfect" three-point landing at about 75 knots. The pilot told the Federal Aviation Administration inspector that the touchdown point was about halfway down the runway, at about 105 knots. The pilot realized that the airplane speed was too fast and then performed an aborted landing by retracting flaps to 0 degrees and adding full power. The airplane impacted a traffic sign and terrain when it overran the runway without becoming airborne, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot sustained minor injuries.

Full Narrative
The pilot stated she attempted a landing with a 10 degree flap setting on runway 35 (2,987 feet by 50 feet, concrete). Calm winds were reported by the pilot. The airplane, which was equipped with a tricycle landing gear, touched down in a "perfect" three point landing at about 75 knots. The pilot told the Federal Aviation Administration inspector that the touchdown point and speed was about 1/2 down the runway at about 105 knots. The pilot "realized" that the airplane speed was "too fast" and then performed an aborted landing by retracting flaps to 0 degrees and adding full power. The airplane impacted a traffic sign and terrain when it overran the runway without becoming airborne, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot sustained minor injuries.
