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 solo private pilot was practicing touch and go landings at a private airstrip under Title 14, CFR Part 91. The pilot reported that after touching down long on the runway, he applied full power, and the engine "coughed," and did not produce takeoff power. He said he was approaching the end of the runway and applied too much brake, and the airplane nosed over. He said previously the engine had been running rich at idle. He also reported that he could have cleared the engine on final. He said his instructor who was watching, told him when he applied power a cloud of black smoke emitted from the engine. He said the right wing, right lift-strut, and rudder were substantially damaged in the accident.
