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.

Sand Springs, OK
During the landing roll, the airplane suddenly veered to the right and the pilot applied left brakes. The airplane continued off the right side of the runway and spun around striking the left wing on the ground.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
On August 16, 2003, at 0925 central daylight time, a Cessna 195 single-engine airplane, N9882A, sustained substantial damage when it ground looped during the landing roll on runway 17 at William R. Pogue Municipal Airport (0F8), near Sand Springs, Oklahoma. The private pilot, and sole passenger of the airplane, was not injured. Visual metrological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight originated from Richard Lloyd Jones Jr Airport, near Tulsa, Oklahoma at an unknown time. The 1,759-hour pilot reported to the NTSB investigator-in-charge that the landing touchdown on runway 17 at 0F8 was "fine." During the landing roll, at about 40 knots, the airplane veered to the right and the pilot applied left brakes. The airplane continued off the side of the runway and spun around striking the left wing on the ground. Examination of the tailwheel-equipped airplane by an FAA inspector who responded to the accident site, revealed the outboard 3 feet of the left wing was bent upward 45 agrees, and the left main landing gear was separated from the airframe.
