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.
Salt Lake City, UT
While en route to Salt Lake City #2 Airport, the pilot encountered severe wind turbulence. He attempted two landings, and performed a go-around each time due to turbulence. He was successful on his third attempt to land, but while taxiing to exit the runway, the aircraft encountered a gust of wind. The left wingtip struck the ground, causing the aircraft to turn 360 degrees, and come to rest on the left wing and nose. When the pilot exited the aircraft, a wind gust overturned the aircraft. The aircraft sustained damage to the left main landing gear and the vertical stabilizer, the right wing was broken at the wing brace, the nose was dented, and the propeller was bent. At the time of the accident, the winds were reported at 20 to 25 knots, with gusts 30 to 35 knots.
The pilot's inadequate compensation for winds while taxing. A factor was gusty, high wind conditions.
