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 he wanted to practice a rejected takeoff on a downhill, 2,344-ft-long grass runway. During the simulated rejected takeoff, the airplane floated and did not settle immediately on the runway. He did not believe he could go around, so he landed the airplane and applied brakes. Subsequently, the airplane overran the runway, went down an embankment, and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot added that he should have practiced the maneuver on a longer runway.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for a simulated rejected takeoff, which resulted in a runway overrun and noseover.
Full Narrative
The pilot of the tailwheel equipped airplane reported that, he wanted to "practice" a rejected takeoff on a downhill, 2,344 ft grass runway. During the simulated rejected takeoff, the airplane floated and did not settle immediately on the runway. He felt he could not go around, so he landed the airplane, applied brakes, and the airplane overran the runway down a shallow embankment and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot added that he should have practiced the maneuver on a longer runway.
