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.

NTSB Number
WPR24LA166
The pilot of the airplane reported that, while on final approach to the runway, the wind shifted, causing him to land with a tailwind. The pilot realized that he wouldn’t be able to stop the airplane on the runway, but believed the fence at the end of the runway prevented him from safely performing a go-around. The airplane overran the departure end of the runway, striking the fence and an occupied vehicle before impacting terrain. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and empennage. 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 failure to attain a proper touchdown point during landing with a tailwind which resulted in a runway overrun.
