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.

DURING ARRIVAL, THE WIND WAS REPORTED TO BE FROM 070 DEGREES AT 15 GUSTING 20 KTS. ON FINAL APPROACH WITH FULL FLAPS, THE SPEED WAS BLED OFF FOR AN INTENDED FULL-STALL LANDING. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN, THE WIND SHIFTED ABOUT 90 DEGREES TO NEARLY A DIRECT CROSS WIND, PROBABLY EXCEEDING THE CROSSWIND CAPABILITY OF THE AIRCRAFT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT ADDED FULL POWER TO GO AROUND, BUT COULD NOT FLY OUT OF THE STALL. DURING THE ATTEMPTED GO-AROUND, THE AIRCRAFT WAS MOVING LEFT TOWARD TREES. THE SAFETY PILOT MADE AN EFFORT TO TURN RIGHT TO AVOID THE TREES, HOWEVER, THE RIGHT WING TIP CONTACTED THE GROUND AND THE LEFT WING CONTACTED A TREE.
