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.

NTSB Number
WPR13CA104
The pilot reported that he intended to land on an asphalt runway in night visual conditions. As the airplane approached the runway, he added engine power because the flight controls felt “mushy.” The airspeed was about 85 knots with full flaps, and the airplane remained in ground effect longer than usual. When the airplane touched down, it bounced and the propeller struck the runway surface. The airplane porpoised but eventually came to a stop. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mount structure and support assembly. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
