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.

CHI07CA031
The airplane was substantially damaged during landing. The pilot reported that upon landing the airplane veered to the left and he was unable to correct with rudder input. He reported that the airplane was heading toward the side of the runway and he applied right brake in an attempt to keep the airplane from going off of the runway. He reported that the left main wheel went off of the runway but the right main wheel did not exit the paved surface. The airplane came to rest near the runway centerline. The pilot reported that he had performed 2 landings prior to the accident landing with no discrepancies noted. Examination of the airplane subsequent to the accident revealed that the rear fuselage where the tailwheel mounted was damaged.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing which resulted in an overload of the tailwheel attachment structure in the fuselage.
