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.

NTSB Number
ERA26LA059
The pilot reported that the airplane was established on a straight-in nighttime visual approach. During landing, he observed that the runway was wet from recent rainfall. After touchdown with a right quartering tailwind, the airplane encountered a gust of wind and became airborne. The airplane stayed airborne for a few hundred feet before touching down again. The pilot subsequently applied the brakes; however, the airplane overran the end of the runway, continued down a grassy slope and impacted the perimeter fence, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to attain a proper touchdown point while landing with a quartering tailwind, which resulted in a long landing and subsequent runway excursion.
