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.

CEN10CA444
The pilot stated that he was transporting his newly acquired vintage bi-wing airplane to his home field. About 21 miles from the destination, the airplane encountered severe turbulence. The pilot attempted to approach the home airport from a different direction, but still encountered severe turbulence. Storms were visually detected by the pilot approaching the destination airport, so he diverted to avoid the storms. The pilot headed towards a private airfield and visually acquired what he thought was the landing area. The pilot performed a landing to an open, plowed, field. During the ground roll, the landing gear dug into a dirt "bump" and the airplane nosed over, coming to rest in an inverted position. The airplane's rudder was substantially damaged.
