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 pilot was in the process of lowering the tail to the ground after touchdown when the airplane veered to the right. Adding left rudder to counter the yaw was unsuccessful, and the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and nosed over. The pilot reported "...close to touchdown I was getting bumped from side to side from crosswind gusts." The pilot said there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind gusts and failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout.
