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 of the airplane was departing at night, and reported that as the airplane accelerated during the takeoff he felt the nose landing gear had “shimmied.” About this time he increased the pitch attitude for rotation and felt the nose wheel leave the ground, but it touched back down and the airplane then veered to the left. The pilot was unable to correct and the airplane departed the left side of the runway, encountered a ditch, bounced into the air, then landed hard. During the hard landing the nose landing gear collapsed, and the fuselage and engine mount were substantially damaged. The pilot and a flight instructor examined the airplane after the accident both were unable to identify evidence of any mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
