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.

Before landing, the pilot reported that he had completed a low reconnaissance pass over the snow-covered runway. While conducting the low pass he noticed tire tracks in the snow and determined the snow was about 6 inches in depth. On final approach, he set the flaps to 30 degrees and performed a soft field landing. The main landing gear touched down into the snow with no issues. He applied additional engine power to cushion the nosewheel touchdown. As the nosewheel touched down, it dug into the snow and the nosewheel “slammed” into the ground. Subsequently, the airplane nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, vertical stabilizer and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
