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.

According to the solo student pilot, the airplane bounced during the landing. She continued the landing, and on the last bounce, the left main landing gear went off the runway. The airplane exited the runway, and the pilot attempted to stop the airplane. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing, engine mount, and lower fuselage. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
