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 stated that he was performing a no-flap landing after completing a local flight. On short final, he realized that he was low and initiated a go-around. With the application of power, the airplane rolled to the left and the left wheel struck an approximately 8-foot-high embankment located near the edge of the displaced threshold of the runway. The left landing gear was torn off and the airplane slid on its right wheel and fuselage approximately 200 feet before coming to rest. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage.
