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.

SEA07CA067
According to the pilot, on short final approach to runway 20R, at an approach speed of 80 mph and an altitude of 50 to 60 feet above ground, he encountered "a severe wind shear which banked the wings and pitched the nose down." He attempted to recover, but the airplane's left wing hit the ground, and the airplane nosed down. The closest weather reporting station, located about 16 nautical miles northeast of the accident site, reported winds from 210 degrees at 15 knots approximately 11 minutes after the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to adequately compensate for the wind conditions during final approach, which resulted in a loss of control and an in-flight collision with terrain. A contributing factor was the windshear condition encountered.
