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.
Livingston, TX
The student pilot made the takeoff from runway 30. The instructor realized the engine was not producing maximum takeoff power and the airplane's climb rate had diminished. The instructor assumed control of the airplane and maneuvered the airplane onto the downwind leg for runway 12. In the attempt to return to the runway, "the airplane stalled and banked approximately 20 degrees left then right." The instructor was able to recover from the stall and realized a turn from base to final approach was not possible. He landed the airplane straight ahead on a grass field. The airplane bounced three times, collapsing the left main landing gear. A post-accident examination revealed no anomalies with the engine.
