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.

GAA15CA073
After two approaches that resulted in go-arounds, the pilot touched down on the third landing attempt. The pilot reported that he touched down too fast and bounced three times in a "classic porpoise." On the third bounce he attempted a go-around but had insufficient runway remaining. Subsequently, the airplane overran the runway and the main landing gear and nose wheel dug into soft mud. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and fuselage. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to recover from a bounced landing, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane during the runway overrun.
