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.

ERA11CA188
According to the pilot, he checked the wind conditions prior to landing and calculated the maximum crosswind component to be 15 knots, which included wind gusts. While on final approach, he was able to maintain runway alignment. After touchdown, the airplane veered to the right and departed the runway surface. The airplane then nosed over in the grass, incurring structural damage to both wings, the vertical stabilizer, and the rudder. The pilot stated that he may have relaxed his diligence on keeping the airplane’s ailerons into the wind during the landing roll. He reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and nose over.
Full Narrative
According to the pilot, he checked the winds prior to landing and calculated the maximum crosswind component to be 15 knots, including gusts. While on final approach, he was able to maintain alignment with the runway using the wing-low method. After touchdown, the airplane veered to the right and departed the runway surface. The airplane then nosed over in the grass, which was saturated with water. Aircraft damage included structural damage to both wings, the vertical stabilizer, and the rudder. The pilot also reported that he may have relaxed his diligence on keeping the airplane's ailerons into the wind during the landing roll. He reported no mechanical malfunctions or failures prior to the accident.
