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.

According to the pilot, he was landing on runway 01 when the airplane encountered a 'crosswind gust,' and subsequently, the airplane swerved to the right, the left wing dipped, the wing-tip contacted the runway surface, and the airplane nosed over. The pilot added that the winds were from 100 degrees at 7 knots, gusting between 10 and 15 knots.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane while landing. A factor was the crosswind.
On September 16, 2000, at 1200 central daylight time, a Cessna 185F tailwheel equipped airplane, N34NC, was substantially damaged while landing on runway 01 at Burnet Municipal Airport, Burnet, Texas. The commercial pilot, who was the registered owner and operator of the airplane, and his passenger sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The flight originated from TP McCampbell Airport, Ingleside, Texas, at 1024 and was destined for Burnet, Texas. According to the pilot, he utilized the "proper crosswind landing technique," during the approach to runway 01. As the airplane touched down, it encountered a "crosswind gust," and subsequently, the airplane swerved to the right, the left wing "dipped," the wing-tip contacted the runway surface, and the airplane nosed over. The airplane came to rest inverted on the runway. The pilot added that the winds were from 100 degrees at 7 knots, gusting between 10 and 15 knots. According to an FAA inspector, who examined the airplane, the top of the vertical stabilizer, rudder, and both main wing spars sustained structural damage. He added that the three propeller blades were curled.
