Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Cashmere, WA
The pilot reported that he flew a low approach to runway 25 to observe the wind conditions, saw the windsock “hanging dead,” and decided to land on runway 07. The pilot set the flaps to 20° and “carried a little extra speed” on final approach. The airplane crossed the runway threshold about 70 knots and touched down within the first quarter of the runway. After touchdown on runway 07, the pilot applied brakes, however, felt that the airplane did not slow quickly enough, and decided to abort the landing. During the go around, the airplane collided with a residential structure located beyond the departure end of runway 07, which resulted in substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and elevator. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. A witness reported that they observed the airplane touch down about midfield, on runway 07. They added that at the time of the accident, the temperature was about 100° F, with the wind from the west. The nearest weather reporting station, about 13 miles southeast of the accident site, reported around the time of the accident wind from 260° at 7 knots, altimeter setting was 29.87, and temperature was 100.4° F. The calculated density altitude was 3,842 ft.
The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from obstacles during an aborted landing, while flying in tailwind conditions. Contributing to the accident was the high density altitude weather condition.
