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.

On July 20, 2025, about 1545 central daylight time, a Questair Venture airplane, N53TL, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. According to the pilot, he extended his landing gear over Fisk during the approach to the airport. The pilot confirmed that he had three green lights illuminated on his instrument panel and he continued the approach. During the landing flare to runway 9, the airplane touched down on both main landing gear. As the nose of the airplane came down, the propeller struck the runway; the airplane slid for several feet before it came to rest on its nose. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mounts. A postaccident assessment revealed that the nose landing gear was not extended at the time of landing. During the recovery, the pilot attempted to extend the nose landing gear; however, the nose landing gear would not extend. The circuit breaker for the nose landing gear motor was popped. The pilot reset the circuit breaker and attempted to extend the nose landing gear a second time. The nose landing gear extended and locked in place. The airplane was recovered to a secure hangar for further examination.
