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.

CHI06CA156
The airplane contacted the terrain following a loss of directional control while landing. The pilot reported that while touching down on runway 31, a "burst" of wind from the left pushed the airplane to the right side of the runway. The pilot reported he added full left rudder, aileron, and power in an attempt to perform an aborted landing. The pilot stated the airplane did not gain sufficient altitude during the aborted landing. The airplane came to rest upon contacting vegetation along the side of the runway. Wind conditions reported 49 miles away at 1456 were from 230 degrees at 8 knots. The pilot reported that the local winds were from 220 degrees at 10 knots. The density altitude at the time of the accident was approximately 3,000 feet.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions which resulted in a loss of directional control while landing. Factors associated with the accident were the crosswind condition, the high vegetation which the airplane contacted, and the high density altitude.
