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 reported that during the approach to landing to a remote airstrip located within a canyon, the wind changed direction while he was on short final. The pilot had selected full flaps and performed a slip to descend to the approach end of the runway, however, the airplane touched down more than half way down the 1,300-foot long dirt runway. The airplane subsequently overran the departure end of the runway and nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the wings and fuselage. The pilot added that there was no possibility of a go-around due to the airstrip's location in the canyon. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
