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 receiving instruction reported that while on short final approach, he recognized that he was aligned with the wrong runway. The flight instructor took control of the aircraft and banked hard to the right in an attempt to land on the runway which they were cleared to land. Almost immediately the stall warning sounded, the flight instructor applied throttle and attempted to level the aircraft. The landing gear contacted the runway, the airplane continued across the runway into a field and came to rest inverted. The pilot receiving instruction sustained serious injury and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot reported no pre-impact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The flight instructor’s failure to maintain adequate airspeed during landing which resulted in a loss of directional control and runway excursion. Contributing to the accident was the pilot receiving instructions failure to maintain runway alignment.
