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 private pilot was conducting a local area personal flight under Title 14, CFR Part 91, landing at various off airport sites. He said that he landed on a gravel area, and while taxiing came to a puddle, about 40 feet in diameter with broken ice surrounding it. He said he added speed to taxi through it, and about 3 feet from exiting the puddle, the ice around the edge broke off, and "stopped the tires dead." The pilot said the airplane then nosed over. He said there were no known mechanical anomalies with the airplane prior to the accident. He reported that the rudder and top of the wings were damaged during the accident.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's selection of unsuitable terrain for taxi, which resulted in the airplane nosing over while taxiing after landing. A factor associated with the accident was the rough and uneven terrain.
