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.

During landing on runway 35 in crosswind conditions, the pilot attempted to correct for the crosswind with rudder and aileron inputs. While "continued correcting for crosswind and gusts," the pilot applied full throttle to execute a go-around. The pilot lost aircraft control, and the airplane "settled on the east of the runway and went into the grass." An examination of the airplane's systems showed no anomalies. The pilot reported the wind from 290 degrees to 340 degrees. The wind speed was reported at 19 to 22 knots, gusting to 22 knots.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during the landing. Contributing to the accident were the crosswind, gusty wind conditions and the pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions.
