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.

According to the pilot receiving instruction, the purpose of the flight was for her to brush up her techniques with the certificated flight instructor since it had been about two months since she had flown. While practicing a spot landing, where she aimed for a particular touchdown point, the airplane landed long and overran the end of the runway. The airplane came to rest upright in a ditch adjacent to the airport property. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed the firewall was buckled. The pilot receiving instruction stated that the airplane had no preimpact mechanical problems.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot receiving instruction's failure to attain the proper touchdown point and execute a go-around and the CFI’s delayed remedial action, which resulted in a runway overrun.
Full Narrative
According to the pilot receiving instruction, the flight was being conducted because she had not flown in two months and she wanted to "brush up." While practicing a "spot landing," the airplane landed long and overran the end of the runway (3,738 feet long by 100 feet wide). The airplane came to rest upright in a ditch adjacent to the airport property. Examination of the airplane revealed the firewall was buckled. The airplane owner, who was also the pilot receiving instruction, stated the airplane had no mechanical problems that caused the accident.
