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 reported that following a cross-country flight, on the first approach to land he performed a go-around due to gusting wind and an unstable approach. During the second approach to the same runway, the pilot reported that the approach was stable, however, near the runway threshold the airplane began sinking and impacted the runway with all three wheels at once. Subsequently, the airplane immediately veered to the left off the runway despite the pilot’s attempt to apply wheel brakes and maintain directional control. During the runway excursion, the nose landing gear collapsed which resulted in substantial damage to the engine mount and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion.
