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 solo student pilot reported that while performing a straight-in approach for landing at night, another airplane began a take-off roll on the runway he intended to land on. The student pilot made a left turn and began a circle to provide additional clearance between his airplane and the departing airplane. During the turn, the student pilot allowed the airplane to unintentionally descend and it struck a tree. The student pilot pitched upward, however, the airplane stalled and impacted trees a second time. Subsequently, the airplane nosed over into a river, which resulted in substantial damage to the wings and stabilator. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
