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 pilot reported that the airplane bounced upon touchdown before the halfway marker on the runway. He recovered from the bounce and applied heavy braking, and the airplane began to veer to the left. The pilot released the left brake and applied more right brake to straighten the airplane. The airplane continued off the end of the runway where it contacted a ditch, separating the nose gear, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot recently transitioned to this airplane and stated that he did not realize that the airspeed indicator was in knots and not miles per hour, which resulted in a faster than normal approach speed. The pilot stated he did not check the weather prior to landing and he landed with a 3-knot quartering tailwind.
