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.

NTSB Number
CEN20CA074
According to the pilot, the airplane landed about 1,000 ft down the 2,800-ft-long runway. During the landing roll, the airplane's ground speed was fast. The pilot applied the brakes, but the airplane continued at a fast ground speed while approaching the end of the runway, so the pilot applied more pressure to the brakes. The airplane exited the left side of the runway onto soft grass, the nose landing gear strut failed, and the airplane came to rest. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mounts. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation and that he should have aborted the landing.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's improper continuation of a landing in which he landed too far down the runway at too high a speed, which resulted in a loss of directional control and a runway excursion.
Full Narrative
According to the pilot, the airplane landed about 1,000 ft down the 2,800 ft concrete runway. During the landing roll, the airplane's ground speed was fast, and the pilot applied the brakes. The pilot reported that the airplane was approaching the end of the runway and that the ground speed was too fast, so he applied more pressure to the brakes. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and the nose landing gear strut failed. The airplane came to rest about 25 ft from the left side of the runway, in the soft grass. Additionally, the pilot reported that he should have aborted the landing. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mounts. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
