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.

CEN13CA419
While maneuvering to land, the airplane was high on final approach. The pilot slipped the airplane to increase the descent rate. About 50 feet above the runway, the pilot transitioned from the slip to the landing attitude. The airplane bounced, and the pilot made a small power increase and lowered the nose. The airplane bounced a second time and began a porpoise-type oscillation. The pilot initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the pilot lost control of the airplane as its nose pitched up and the airplane rolled left. The airplane impacted a field next to the runway and substantial damage was sustained to the fuselage and both wings. A postaccident examination of the airplane by the NTSB and the FAA revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
