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.

After completing a local flight, the pilot recalled the direction of landing required a steep descent during the final approach due to tall trees at the approach end of the runway. The pilot otherwise did not recall any of the details of the accident following the short final segment of the landing approach. A witness described, and surveillance video confirmed, that the airplane touched down, experienced a “very short” bounce, and then impacted the turf runway nose landing gear first, resulting in the nose landing gear collapsing and the airplane nosing over. The airplane’s fuselage, empennage, and right wing sustained substantial damage during the accident sequence.
