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.
Camarillo, CA
While performing touch-and-go landings, the airplane veered off the left side of the runway and nosed over. The pilot performed his second touch-and-go landing and added power for the takeoff. The plane veered to the left side of the runway and the pilot lost control. The airplane continued off the left side of the runway and into wet dirt where it nosed over onto its back. The pilot stated to the Safety Board investigator that he "applied all the right rudder possible" during the excursion off the runway, and that he "stayed with the power too long." The pilot stated that the airplane and engine had no mechanical failures or malfunctions during the flight.
