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.

ERA14CA298
According to the pilot's written statement, while on final approach for a straight in landing at his destination airport, the pilot had to apply right crosswind correction due to prevailing winds. He stated he "encountered a downdraft and picked up a decent rate." The pilot applied power but impacted short of the runway. The nose landing gear separated, the airplane nosed over, and then came to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mounts and the right wing root and spar. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain the proper approach path, and his delayed remedial action, which resulted in a runway undershoot and collision with terrain prior to the runway.
