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 pilot reported that he “felt rushed” during an instrument approach at the destination airport. While on the instrument approach, he opted to extend the airplane’s speed brakes to descend “1,500ft within a few miles” while he maintained airspeed. The pilot mentioned that he typically would perform a before landing check at 500 ft above ground level, but failed to do so on this flight. The airplane touched down on the runway with its landing gear retracted, which resulted in substantial damage to the airplane’s fuselage. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
