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.

NTSB Number
CHI07CA172
The airplane was substantially damaged during a ground loop on runway 31 (4,835 feet by 100 feet, asphalt). The pilot stated that on his third touch and go, he flared the airplane into a flat attitude to ease it down onto the runway. The airplane bounced twice and started to turn to the left. He corrected with right rudder but the aircraft bounced again and he applied more right rudder. The airplane responded and turned to the right. At this point the airplane was "45 degrees off the centerline of the runway and was heading for the runway lights." The pilot tried to correct the airplane back to the left, but the airplane ground looped. The left main landing gear collapsed and the airplane departed the right side of the runway.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft during the landing roll which resulted in a ground loop.
