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 flight instructor, the student pilot was landing with the airplane trimmed for an approach airspeed of 62 knots and configured with approximately one-half flaps. About 15 to 20 feet above the runway, with no prestall indication or buffeting noted, the airplane suddenly dropped, then impacted the runway. The airplane veered off the left side of the runway, and the right wing was substantially damaged when it impacted a precision approach path indicator stanchion. The flight instructor did not report any preexisting mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot's improper flare which resulted in a hard landing, and the flight instructor's lack of remedial action.
Full Narrative
According to the flight instructor, the student pilot was landing on the 2,903-foot by 60-foot runway 29 with winds from 320 degrees true at 4 knots. The approach was "seemingly normal," with the airplane trimmed for an approach airspeed of 62 knots, and configured with approximately one-half flaps. About 15 to 20 feet above the runway, with no pre-stall indication or buffeting noted, the airplane suddenly dropped, then impacted the runway. The airplane then veered off the left side of the runway, and the right wing was substantially damaged when it impacted a precision approach path indicator (PAPI) stanchion. The flight instructor did not report any preexisting mechanical anomalies with the airplane.
