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.

WPR23LA207

The pilot reported that on a night landing the airplane touched down smoothly on the main landing gear. During the landing roll, when the nose gear touched down, the airplane’s roll out became rough and bumpy. When the airplane came to a stop, the pilot and passenger discussed that they probably had a flat nose wheel tire. Subsequently, the passenger exited the airplane to examine the nose wheel tire and observed it to be flat. The pilot told the passenger to keep clear and then attempted to taxi clear of the runway. However, at a high-power setting, the airplane only moved a few feet, and the pilot elected to discontinue the taxi. The pilot was deciding what his next move would be when the passenger approached the airplane from the front. The pilot tried to warn the passenger but subsequently, the propeller struck the passenger and resulted in a serious injury.

NTSB Probable Cause

The failure of the passenger to adequately maintain a safe distance from the airplane’s propeller and the determination to let the passenger exit the airplane with the engine running.
