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 reported that he was attempting to land after his first solo flight. He thought his airspeed was high; the airplane landed hard and bounced three times, which resulted in the collapse of the nose landing gear. The nose of the airplane and the left wing impacted the runway. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the left wing spar, firewall and engine mount sustained substantial damage. The chief flight instructor reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's improper landing technique which resulted in a hard landing and subsequent nose landing gear collapse.
