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 42-hour student pilot was performing solo touch-and-go crosswind landings to Runway 09. On the fifth and final landing, the single-engine airplane swerved unintentionally and exited the right side of the 3,455-feet long, by 40-feet wide asphalt runway. Moments later the nose landing gear fork fractured and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest in the inverted position. The pilot was able to exit the airplane unassisted. The vertical stabilizer and rudder sustained structural damage. An examination of the airplane's flight controls revealed no mechanical failure or malfunction. The weather observation facility located about sixteen nautical miles west from the site of the accident reported winds from 170 degrees at 5 knots.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing. A contributing factor was the prevailing crosswind.
