Overall Trends
Total, fatal, and serious accidents in the selected range.
Search investigations, review source evidence, monitor watched reports, and trace long-term patterns from one calm, data-first workspace.
Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.
Major cases, deep-report coverage, and investigation media across decades of NTSB history.
Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
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.
Upland, CA
The pilot stated that he was attempting to land at an airport he had never flown to. During his first attempt, he had difficulty slowing the airplane and opted to abort the landing. On the second approach, he landed long and upon touchdown, the airplane bounced and then settled back on the runway surface. The pilot applied heavy braking and the airplane slowed while he continued into the paved overrun. When the pavement ended, he had little braking traction on the dirt and he attempted to steer the airplane to the left, but the airplane was moving too slowly to obtain effective rudder steering and he did not have sufficient traction to steer with the brakes. The airplane continued through the dirt to an embankment, nosed over, and came to rest inverted with the wings on a chain-link fence. The airplane incurred substantial damage to the right wing during the accident sequence. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
