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 private pilot reported that the airplane's touchdown airspeed was higher than normal. He reported that during the airplane's rollout, he applied aileron and rudder inputs to compensate for a crosswind. Shortly after making the correction, the airplane swerved to the right. The pilot applied full left rudder and the aircraft swerved to the left. The pilot was unable to correct the situation and the airplane departed the south side of the runway and collided with a taxiway marker. The 2153 METAR observation at Troutdale reported winds from 250 degrees at 8 knots.
Improper compensation for wind conditions while landing. Factors include a taxiway marker.
