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, A THUNDERSTORM WAS LOCATED ABOUT 6 MI SOUTHEAST OF THE AIRPORT AND ANOTHER WAS ABOUT 8 TO 10 MI NORTHWEST. REPORTEDLY, THE WIND WAS VARIABLE FROM 090 TO 180 DEG AT 10, GUSTING 25 KTS. WHILE LANDING ON A 75 FT WIDE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO VEER LEFT. NOSE WHEEL STEERING, BRAKES AND RUDDER WERE APPLIED, BUT NOT SUFFICIENTLY (IN TIME AND AMOUNT) TO PREVENT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR FROM GOING OFF THE RELATIVELY NARROW RUNWAY. THE LEFT GEAR ENCOUNTERED MUDDY TERRAIN NEXT TO THE RUNWAY, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE AIRCRAFT CROSSED A MID-FIELD TAXIWAY. AT THAT TIME, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED.
