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.

The airplane ran off the side of the runway after a gust of wind lifted the left wing off the ground and the right wing struck the ground. The pilot couldn't control the airplane and it departed the left side of the runway. The closest weather reporting station at Sonoma Airport, about 18 nm west of Angwin, reported the winds to be from 150 degrees at 8 knots with no gusts.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions resulted in a loss of directional control and a ground loop/swerve.
