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.

CEN10CA321
The pilot attempted to take off in the tailwheel-equipped agricultural airplane with a full load of chemical and a full load of fuel. During the takeoff roll the airplane swerved to the left and the pilot was unable to arrest the swerve. The airplane exited off the left side of the runway and impacted a taxiway sign, followed by the collapse of the left main landing gear. The airplane came to rest in an upright position alongside the runway and the pilot was able to exit unassisted. Following the accident the airplane was examined and a loose left landing gear attachment bolt was found, allowing the left wheel to pivot out of alignment during the takeoff roll.
NTSB Probable Cause
The loss of directional control during the takeoff roll due to an incorrectly maintained left main landing gear.
