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.

WHILE ON THE LANDING ROLL, THE ACFT WAS ROLLING STRAIGHT DOWN THE CENTERLINE OF THE RWY WHEN THE PLT FELT A BUMP & REAR OF THE ACFT DROPPED. AT THE SAME TIME, ALL DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST & THE RUDDER PEDALS WENT FORWARD TO THE FIREWALL. THE ACFT STARTED WEATHERVANING INTO THE X-WIND & VEERED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY. AFTER LEAVING THE RWY,IT HIT A LOW BANK OF SOFT DIRT, THEN NOSED OVER & FLIPPED IN THE AIR & FINALLY CAME TO REST, RIGHT SIDE UP. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THAT THE FIBERGLASS ROD, USED AS A SUPPORT & SPRING FOR THE TAILWHEEL, HAD FAILED. WITH IT BROKEN LOOSE, THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THE RUDDER. NO BUMPS WERE FOUND ON THE RWY, BUT A CRACK WAS FOUND WHERE THE 2 HALVES OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT MET AT THE CENTERLINE. THE CRACK WAS SLIGHTLY WIDER THAN THE NARROW TAILWHEEL OF THE ACFT.
