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 stated that he was high and fast on the approach to his destination airport. He landed the airplane approximately half way down the runway, and realized that he would not be able to bring the airplane to a full stop. He veered the airplane to left, departed the runway, traveled down an embankment and impacted a road. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation prior to the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to achieve a proper touchdown point during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion.
