Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Perry, NY
According to the pilot, after a local flight he performed two touch-and-go landings at his home airport. As the pilot was completing a final, full stop landing on runway 28, a 3,472-foot-long runway, he was "unable to slow the airplane down" before the end of the runway. The airplane overran the departure end, and came to rest in a wetlands area, substantially damaging the engine, leading edges of the wings, and leading edge of the left horizontal stabilizer. The pilot did not report any mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane, and stated that the brakes were functioning normally. He noted that his total flight experience was approximately 141 hours; of which, about 6 hours were in the same make and model as the accident airplane. Winds, recorded at an airport 18 miles to the southeast about the time of the accident, were from 010 degrees at 4 knots.
The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point, resulting in an overrun.
