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 was part of a five-airplane group that was landing at a series of unimproved remote airstrips. When they arrived at the third airstrip, three airplanes made successful landings, but the accident pilot, who was in an airplane with slightly different performance characteristics than the other three, was unable to stop before running off the end of the runway and impacting a ditch. After the accident, the pilot, who had not been into the subject airstrip before, stated that he should have made a better decision, and not assumed that because the other three pilots made it successfully that he could too.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to stop his airplane before it departed the end of the unimproved remote airstrip.
Full Narrative
The pilot was part of a five-airplane group that was landing at a series of unimproved remote airstrips. When they arrived at the third airstrip, three airplanes made successful landings, but the accident pilot, who was in an airplane with slightly different performance characteristics than the other three, was unable to stop before running off the end of the runway and impacting a ditch. Contributing to the excursion was the airplane bouncing off a bump during the landing roll, which momentarily compromised the pilot's braking actions. After the accident, the pilot, who had not been into the subject airstrip before, stated that he should have made a better decision, and not assumed that because the other three pilots made it successfully that he could too.
