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 flight crew was advised by air traffic control that the wind was from 320 degrees at 13 knots with gusts to 16 knots, and was cleared for a touch-and-go landing on runway 35. After touchdown with neutral aileron and rudder control input, the student glanced to remove carburetor heat and retract the flaps but looked outside of the cockpit and noted the airplane was moving towards the right side of the runway and was not lined up. The certified flight instructor took control of the airplane and attempted to correct but the right main landing gear collided with a snow bank at the right edge of the runway.
