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 stated that he made a normal landing, but when he applied brakes to slow down, the airplane veered off the runway and impacted a precision approach path indicator light and two trees, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and fuselage. The landing gear collapsed, and the right main landing gear separated from the airplane. A post-accident examination of the right main landing gear, tire and brake assembly revealed no evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
