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 pilot was conducting off airport landings in a tundra-tire equipped airplane under Title 14, CFR Part 91. During a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge on April 30, the pilot reported he had flown the airplane for about an hour since his previous off airport landing. He said when he touched down, unknown to him, his right main landing gear tire was flat, and due to its large size, he was unable to maintain directional control on the ground. The airplane exited the intended landing area into rough and uneven terrain. He reported airplane nosed over, and the left wing lift-strut was bent. The pilot said when he examined the deflated tire he found a stick imbedded in the tire, which he believes was from his previous landing.
NTSB Probable Cause
The damaged and deflated over-sized tire on the main landing gear, which precipitated a loss of directional control during landing.
