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 private pilot stated in the NTSB Form 6120.1 (Pilot/Operator Aircraft Accident/Incident Report) that during the take-off roll the airplane developed a severe nose-wheel shimmy. He said he circled for a landing, made a stable approach to the runway, and landed "on the numbers." During the landing the airplane departed the left side of the runway onto the grass, and impacted a shallow ditch. The airplane's nose gear collapsed, and the firewall sustained structural damage. The operator stated that the airplane's prior flight was for 1.6-hours, which included six landings, with no reported problems.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing.
