Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Waynesville, OH
The pilot reported that, while he was climbing the airplane to jump altitude with skydivers onboard, it encountered "light rain," so he decided to postpone the jump and return to the airport. Upon crossing the runway threshold, about 100 ft above ground level, he initiated a go-around, but the airplane "did not climb." The pilot then decided to land on the remaining runway. After touchdown, he applied full braking, but the airplane overran the end of the runway into a corn field. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and horizontal stabilizer. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. An automated weather observation station located about 7 miles from the accident airport reported that, about 20 minutes before the accident, the wind was from 280° at 8 knots. The pilot reported that, at the accident airport, about the time of the accident, the wind was from the northwest with rain. The pilot landed the airplane on runway 26.
The pilot's inability to stop the airplane on the wet runway after an aborted go-around, which resulted in a runway overrun and impact with terrain.
