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 commercial pilot reported that she was in the airplane's right seat and was performing touch and go landings.

Substantial damage occurred to ribs in the airplane's right wing. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane during the accident flight. The pilot's safety recommendation stated, "I believe that because of my lack of experience in flying right seat I was unable to correct for these unfavorable conditions. In order to prevent an occurrence like this from happening in the future, I will set my personal minimums to a higher standard and will have an instructor present until I am proficient in the right seat."
