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 certificated pilot reported that he was landing a tundra tire-equipped airplane on an asphalt surface runway at the conclusion of a Title 14, CFR Part 91 crosscountry personal flight. The pilot said there was a 6 knot crosswind from the right that was about 40 degrees from the runway direction. During the landing roll, the airplane veered to the right, departed the runway, and collided with a ditch. The airplane received structural damage to the fuselage at the right main landing gear attach point.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to compensate for wind conditions during the landing roll, which resulted in a loss of control and subsequent collision with a ditch. Factors contributing to the accident were a crosswind, and an inadvertent ground loop.
