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.
Fort Pierce, FL
During the landing roll on runway 32 with a variable wind of 7 knots from 350 to 050 degrees, the airplane veered to the left and ground looped resulting in collapse of the right main landing gear. Attempts by the pilot to correct the left veer were unsuccessful. Examination of the airplane by an FAA airworthiness inspector revealed no evidence of preimpact failure or malfunction of 1) the right main landing gear which was bent forward, 2) the fuselage which was impact damaged near the tail wheel, or 3) of the tail wheel assembly.
The failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing roll resulting in overload failure and subsequent collapse of the right main landing gear.
