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
WPR23LA089
The pilot reported that, during the approach for landing to a wet runway, he experienced a tailwind that pushed the airplane further down the runway than intended as he crossed the threshold. During the landing roll, the pilot applied the brakes but discovered that there was more standing water on the runway than expected, resulting in the airplane hydroplaning. The airplane subsequently overran the end of the runway onto soft ground and through trees resulting in substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to attain a proper touchdown point during landing with a tailwind which resulted in a runway over run. Contributing to the accident was a wet runway.
