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, during the landing roll, the airplane veered left. He attempted to correct for the veer with right rudder and brake to no avail. Subsequently, the airplane exited the left side of the runway, encountered a ditch, and the airplane came to rest. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported that the left main tire failed on landing. The Federal Aviation Administration aviation safety inspector reported that there were marks on the runway from the failed tire, but he was unable to tell if the tire had failed before or upon landing. The inspector also assessed the brakes and did not notice anything abnormal.
