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 conducting a landing to runway 33 with twenty degrees of flaps extended. During the landing flare, a gust of wind abruptly lifted the left wing, and the right wing struck the grass on the side of the runway. The pilot applied power to recover and the airplane impacted the grass. The nose landing gear then collapsed and the airplane came to rest upright. A postaccident examination by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the engine firewall, right horizontal stabilizer, elevator, and both wings. The pilot further stated there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane.

Full Narrative
The pilot stated that he was conducting a normal landing to runway 33 with twenty degrees of flaps extended. During the landing flare, a gust of wind "abruptly" lifted the left wing, and the right wing struck the grass on the side of the runway. The pilot applied power to recover and the airplane impacted the grass. The nose landing gear then collapsed and the airplane came to rest upright. Postaccident examination by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the engine firewall, right horizontal stabilizer, elevator, and both wings. The pilot further stated there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane. The recorded winds at the airport, about the time of the accident, were from 300 degrees at 12 knots.
