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.

Full Narrative

The pilot was landing to the west on a 4,040 feet long by 50 feet wide asphalt runway. The winds reported at the time of the accident were from 330 degrees at 11 knots, with gusts to 15 knots. The pilot said he was about 5 to 7 feet above the ground and about to touch down when “a big crosswind” came under his right wing and he lost control. The airplane impacted the grassy area to the left of the runway. During the impact the left main landing gear collapsed, and the left wing struts were bent and partially separated. There was substantial damage to the airplane. The pilot reported that he and his three passengers were not injured. No pre-impact mechanical anomalies were found with the airplane.
