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 pilot stated that he was landing on runway 09L, and as the airplane slowed down the left wing came up and the airplane started to weather vane into the wind. He said that he attempted to apply corrective control inputs, but the airplane exited the runway, and the propeller impacted a runway light. The main landing gear wheels dug into the sand and the airplane flipped over, incurring damage to the propeller, left wing, and vertical stabilizer. Prior to the accident there were no failures or mechanical malfunctions to the airplane or any of its systems.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain control during the landing rollout which resulted in the airplane exiting the runway, impacting a runway light, and nosing over.
