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, while landing at a grass-covered site, during touchdown, the airplane bounced slightly, and he inadvertently allowed the flight control stick to move forward, which lowered the nose of the airplane. During the second touchdown, the propeller struck the ground, and the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wing struts, vertical stabilizer, and rudder. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's improper landing flare and subsequent improper recovery from a bounced landing, which resulted in a nose over.
