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 stated that she had executed four full-stop, taxi-back landings to runway 09 and one full-stop, taxi-back landing to runway 27. She departed runway 27, remained in the traffic pattern for that runway, but while on short final approach, she realized that the airplane was lined up with the taxiway. She maneuvered to the left in an attempt to salvage the approach, and the airplane then touched down and bounced. The airplane travelled off the left side of the runway onto grass and collided with a ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the firewall. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. She also stated that the accident could have been prevented if she had conducted a go-around.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to execute a go-around following an unstabilized approach, which resulted in a bounced landing and runway excursion.
