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 initiated a left downwind approach and noted gusty wind conditions while on final. The airplane landed hard and bounced twice. The pilot initiated a go-around, however he stated that he was unable to maintain altitude and the airplane likely stalled. The airplane came to rest in the adjacent grass area left of the runway and was destroyed by the post impact fire. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
