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.
Oshkosh, WI
The airplane collided with the runway following a loss of control while landing. The accident occurred as the pilot was arriving at EAA AirVenture 2005. The pilot reported he made a low turn onto final approach, possibly encountered a wind gust, and the airplane stalled. The pilot reported the winds as being from 270 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 20 knots. The winds reported at the airport 7 minutes prior to the accident were from 250 degrees at 11 knots, gusting to 15 knots.
The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed sufficient enough to compensate for the gusty crosswind condition and prevent a stall during the landing flare. A factor associated with the accident was the gusting crosswind condition.
