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 was practicing takeoffs and landings in a tailwheel-equipped airplane with a 10 to 12 knot crosswind when the accident occurred. He reported that upon touchdown, the airplane weathervaned into the wind. He applied full aileron into the wind and opposite rudder to compensate. The airplane turned into the wind and continued off the runway, where it traveled through a ditch and contacted a two-foot deep rut prior to coming to a stop. The right wing was substantially damaged.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the crosswind landing.
