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
CEN21LA469
The pilot reported that after a normal downwind and base leg, he turned to final to line the airplane up with the runway. As he was lining up, the airplane descended too low, got too slow, and touched down in a bean field short of the runway. As the airplane rolled out, the main landing gear caught on vegetation and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest on its back. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, rudder, and upper wing. The pilot reported there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain adequate speed and altitude during final approach, which resulted in an off field landing short of the runway and a subsequent nose over.
