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 was landing the airplane on his 1,500-foot grass airstrip. During the landing, the airplane bounced and the pilot aborted the landing. As power was applied, the airplane moved to the left side of the runway into trees and the airplane came down on a workshop roof south of the runway substantially damaging the 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 maintain airplane control following an aborted landing which resulted in a collision with trees.
