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.

SEA07CA197
According to the pilot, he completed a VOR approach to the airport and then entered the traffic pattern for runway 26. On final approach, he increased the flap setting to 30 degrees and performed a "side slip for cross wind." Upon touchdown, the airplane's nose turned to the right, and he attempted to go around. The airplane continued to turn to the right and exited the runway. The left main and nose landing gears collapsed. The weather observation at the airport recorded about 5 minutes before the accident indicated the wind was from 230 degrees at 6 knots.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing flare/touchdown, resulting in an inadvertent swerve and collapse of the left main and nose landing gears.
