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.

WPR10CA418
The pilot reported that, while the airplane was on final approach, he realized it was not centered on the runway and decided to execute a go-around. The second approach was normal. During the landing flare, the airplane floated longer than usual and drifted towards the right side of the runway in crosswind conditions. As the airplane touched down, the right main wheel encountered a trench and continued to traverse up a berm. Upon reaching the top of the berm, the airplane slid sideways until it came to a rest. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions. The nearest weather reporting station located 12 miles southeast of the accident airport reported at the time of the accident wind was from 330 degrees at 9 knots.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s inadequate compensation for the crosswind and failure to maintain runway alignment.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that after a cross country flight, while on final approach he realized the airplane was not centered on the runway and he executed a go around. The second approach was normal; during the landing flare the airplane “floated longer than usual” and drifted towards the right side of the runway. As the airplane touched down, the right main wheel fell into a trench and continued to traverse up a berm. Upon reaching the top, the airplane slid sideways along the berm until it came to a rest, substantially damaging the left wing and fuselage. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions prior to the accident. The nearest weather reporting station located 12 miles southeast of the accident airport reported at the time of the accident wind was from 330 degrees at 9 knots.
