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, he noted that the wind was calm as he made his traffic-pattern approach to the runway. He turned onto base leg early, which resulted in the airplane being higher than normal on the final approach. He reduced the engine power and lowered the nose in an attempt to land with enough runway surface remaining. The pilot reported that although the airplane floated much further than he expected during landing, he believed that he could still brake to a stop safely. The airplane subsequently overran the runway's end and came to rest on an embankment with collapsed landing gear and a bent wing. The pilot reported that he experienced no mechanical malfunctions with his airplane.

Full Narrative

According to the pilot, he noted the wind was calm as he made his traffic pattern approach to the runway. The pilot reported that he started turning onto "base leg a little too soon and ended up high on final." Thereafter, he reduced engine power and lowered the nose still thinking that he would be able to "get down and land with plenty of runway." The pilot further reported that the airplane "floated much further" than expected, and he believed that he could still brake to a stop safely. The airplane overran the runway's end, and it came to rest on an embankment with collapsed landing gear and a bent wing. The pilot reported that no mechanical malfunctions were experienced with his airplane.
