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
ERA21LA149
The pilot was attempting to land the airplane and reported that after a hard landing the left main landing gear fractured and then separated from the airplane. The pilot then aborted the landing. He then attempted to land the airplane again by keeping the left wing in the air as long as possible. As the airplane slowed, and the control authority of the ailerons decreased, the airplane veered left into the grass of the left side of the runway. During the runway excursion, the fuselage and empennage were substantially damaged.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's improper landing flare, which resulted in an initial hard landing, separation of the left main landing gear, and a runway excursion during a subsequent landing attempt.
