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 stated that he was on the downwind leg in the traffic pattern when a thunderstorm approached. He reported that he set up his approach to land, but when the airplane was on short final a shifting wind blew the airplane so that it was aligned with the grass adjacent to the asphalt runway. He stated that since he was comfortable landing on the grass, he continued the approach. The pilot reported that '...upon touchdown - wind changed to direct tailwind of greater than 35 knots (estimate)...wind blew plane into [the] fence at [the] end of runway.'
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing roll. Related factors were the sudden thunderstorm, the high gusty winds, and the sudden windshift to a tailwind during the touchdown/landing roll.
