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.

Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The airplane was substantially damaged and the pilot was not injured. The flight originated from Warren, Minnesota, on June 21, 1994. The pilot stated he was having problems with the brakes prior to takeoff. According to the pilot, the brakes locked up on touchdown which resulted in the airplane groundlooping and nosing over. The airplane was inspected by an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic who holds Inspection Authorization. He reported finding the parking brake set in the ON position in the cockpit. He also reported that skid marks were visible on the newly blacktopped runway. Two NTSB 6120.1/2 Forms were sent to the pilot to be completed.
