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.
Caldwell, ID
The solo student pilot reported that, during landing, the airplane bounced and entered a nose-high attitude. The student aborted the landing, applied full engine power, pushed the nose down while leveling the wings, and then applied left rudder to crab the airplane into the wind. The airplane touched down again with its longitudinal axis not aligned with the runway. The airplane veered left and exited the runway. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the airplane came to rest upright in the soft, dirt terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage. The student reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The student pilot's failure to establish a positive climb rate during an aborted landing, which resulted in abnormal runway contact, a subsequent loss of directional control, runway excursion, and the right main landing gear collapsing.
The student pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during landing on runway 12, the airplane bounced and entered a nose high attitude. The student pilot aborted the landing, applied full engine power and pushed the nose down while leveling the wings, before he applied left rudder to crab the airplane into the wind. The airplane touched down a second time with the longitudinal axis of the airplane not aligned with the runway. The airplane veered left and exited the left side of the runway. The right main landing gear collapsed, and the airplane came to rest upright in the soft dirt terrain.The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The airport's automated weather observation station reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 80° at 8 knots.
