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 stated that he was landing at the conclusion of a cross-country flight. After touchdown and during the landing rollout, the airplane veered to the left and would not respond to his rudder or aileron control inputs. The pilot applied full engine power in an attempt to fly over a pile of debris adjacent to the runway, but impacted the debris with the propeller, nose landing gear, and left main landing gear. A postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the left main landing gear tire was flat and that the left wing spar had sustained substantial damage.

Full Narrative
The pilot stated that he was conducting a normal landing at the conclusion of a cross-country flight. The touchdown was normal, but during the landing rollout, the airplane veered to the left and would not respond to rudder or aileron control inputs. The pilot applied full engine power to clear a pile of debris off the left side of the runway, but impacted the debris with the propeller, nose landing gear, and left main landing gear. Postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the left main landing gear tire was flat, and the left wing spar had sustained substantial damage.
