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
CEN21LA099
The student pilot was performing touch-and-go landings. During the landing roll, the student pilot intended to retract the flaps, but accidently extended the flaps further. While correcting the flap setting, the student pilot transferred his attention inside the cockpit and the airplane veered to the left. The student pilot pulled the throttle back before the airplane departed the side of the runway. The airplane’s nose wheel collapsed, and the airplane came to rest in the grass resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. An examination of the airplane did not reveal any flight control anomalies.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot did not maintain directional control of the airplane while landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s diverted attention to the incorrect flap setting.
