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.

ERA23LA304
The pilot reported that the airplane approached fast and bounced twice on the 3,110-ft-long runway. After the second bounce, he attempted to abort the landing, but trees at the end of the runway were already too close to clear. He turned right to avoid the trees, but then turned left to avoid a house, and collided with the trees. The airplane was substantially damaged during the accident and all three occupants of the airplane were seriously injured. Postaccident examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector did not reveal evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation, nor did the pilot report any.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s delayed decision to abort the landing, which resulted in a collision with trees.
