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 airplane nosed over following a loss of control during the landing roll. The pilot reported that while in the traffic pattern to land to the south, he noted that the winds were from the west. He reported that after touching down the left wing came up. He reported that he applied "right stick", but the left wing stayed up. The pilot reported that he then encountered a strong gust of wind and the airplane veered to the right. The airplane then traveled into a corn field where it nosed over. The pilot reported the winds were from the west at 20 knots, gusting to 25 knots.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during a landing roll. Factors associated with the accident was the gusty crosswind condition and the corn crop.
