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, while landing on a beach, he "felt a significant push to the right toward the water and was concerned with going into the water" He added that he initiated a go-around, but the nosewheel "caught and apparently broke off." The propeller then struck the sand, the airplane slid, the tail kicked over, and the airplane came to rest on its back. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's decision to land on unsuitable terrain, which resulted in the nosewheel breaking and a subsequent noseover.
