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 flight instructor stated that the instructional flight was the first flight on the second day of a five-day training program for the student pilot. The planned lesson for the flight included straight-and-level flight, turns, climbs, descents, and ground reference maneuvers. After completion of the maneuvers, the student pilot flew the traffic pattern for landing at the destination airport, and the flight controls were transferred to the flight instructor while the airplane was established on the final approach segment at 500 ft above ground level. Upon touchdown on the runway, the airplane bounced and turned sharply to the left. The flight instructor stated he attempted a go-around but was unable to increase airplane airspeed and regain airplane directional control. The flight instructor stated there was no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal airplane operation.
