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
CEN26LA138
The pilot reported that while landing on the runway, the airplane bounced and then settled on the runway. The pilot felt that she did not have adequate runway remaining to safely conduct a go-around and attempted to stop on the remaining runway. The airplane veered to the right and departed the runway surface. The nosewheel struck a pile of snow, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted resulting in substantial damage to both wings and the vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported that the airplane had no pre impact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. The pilot stated that the accident could have been prevented if a go-around were initiated earlier on the approach.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with terrain.
