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 student pilot of the special light sport airplane reported that he was practicing touch-and-go landings and had completed six, when the air traffic controller requested that he perform a short approach. The student pilot was aligned with the arrival runway numbers when he turned base leg. According to the student pilot, he forced the airplane down and made a hard landing. The airplane then bounced at least once and when it struck the ground the final time, the nose gear collapsed. A postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the firewall and engine mounts. The student pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operations.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot’s improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in the collapse of the nose landing gear.
