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

Prior to landing, the pilot obtained a weather report, which included wind from 190° at 10 knots. The first attempt to land on runway 23 “felt high” and the pilot elected to perform a go-around maneuver. He landed “long” during the subsequent landing and was unable to slow the airplane before it overran the end of the runway. He stated that he was unable to perform a go-around maneuver due to trees at the departure end of the runway. The airplane came to rest against trees, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. The wind reported at an airport about 6 nm east around the time of the accident was 170° at 7 knots gusting to 16 knots.
