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.
Bozeman, MT
The flight instructor reported that during the landing roll, with the student pilot at the controls, the airplane began to veer to the right. The flight instructor tapped the brakes to correct back to the left. The airplane continued to the right and the flight instructor applied the brakes harder, when the tail came up and the airplane nosed over. The flight instructor reported that he did not realize that the student pilot was also on the brakes at the same time. There was no report of a mechanical failure or malfunction.
Aircraft control was not maintained. Inadequate remedial action was a factor.
