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.

CEN24LA124
The pilot reported that he aborted the first landing after the airplane bounced twice on the lake. During the second approach for landing, the airplane rolled right, and the pilot tried to counter the right roll with left aileron control input. The airplane’s nose then quickly dropped. The pilot increased engine power and applied control inputs to recover the airplane, which decreased the nose down pitch and right roll, but there was not enough altitude to prevent the airplane from impacting the lake. The airplane impacted the lake and nosed over coming to rest inverted. The airplane sustained substantial damage to wing and fuselage. The pilot reported that there was no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to attain/maintain airplane control during a landing approach that resulted in an uncontrolled descent and an impact with the lake.
