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
CEN25LA004
The pilot stated that after takeoff from a 2,900 ft grass runway, about 150 ft above ground level and 80 mph, the airplane quit climbing and started a slow descent. The pilot slowed the airplane to about 75 mph and the airplane descended more rapidly. As the airplane neared the ground, the pilot pulled back the control stick so the main landing gear would absorb the impact. The airplane bounced, continued airborne for about 200 ft and impacted trees which resulted in substantial damage to the wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operations.
