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 solo student pilot was performing a touch-and-go landing and touched down too far down the runway. The student pilot trimmed the airplane, raised the flaps and advanced the throttle for takeoff. He became unsure of the runway distance remaining so he reduced the throttle to idle and applied the brakes to abort the takeoff. The brakes locked up several times while he kept the airplane on the runway centerline. Realizing the airplane was not slowing enough, the student pilot lowered the airplane's flaps to 30 degrees and pushed forward on the control yoke to add drag and decrease lift. The airplane slowed, but not enough to stop it from going off the end of the runway and impacting trees. The student pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane prior to the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot delay in aborting the takeoff which resulted in the airplane going off the end of the runway and impacting trees.
