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 reported that during landing and just before touchdown the wind shifted to a tailwind. The airplane landed hard and bounced back into the air. The pilot then added full power in an attempt to execute a go-around. He stated that the airplane failed to climb and drifted off to the left side of the runway until the left wing hit the ground, resulting in the airplane flipping over. The pilot reported that there were no malfunctions with the airplane prior to the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind effects and failure to maintain directional control during an attempted go-around from a landing.
