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, the airplane “bounced”, and he attempted to abort the landing and go-around. During the attempted go-around, the pilot was unable to maintain adequate airspeed, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall. The airplane subsequently landed hard, and the left main landing gear collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left-wing spar. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard, bounced landing which result in the left landing gear collapsing.
