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 reported that he landed on a soft, turf runway. During the landing roll, the airplane veered to the right and struck a tree. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage. A postaccident examination of the airplane did not disclose any evidence of a mechanical malfunction. The pilot stated that the recent rains had made the turf runway soft.
NTSB Probable Cause
Aircraft-Aircraft oper/perf/capability-Performance/control parameters-Directional control-Not attained/maintained - C
Full Narrative
The pilot reported conducting a normal landing on the turf runway. However, immediately after landing, the airplane veered to the right and impacted a tree, damaging the right wing and fuselage. He further stated that it was "unlikely a mechanical problem" and that recent rains had made the turf runway soft. He also stated that the brake was not left on. An inspector with the Federal Aviation Administration examined the airplane and no preimpact mechanical anomalies were found.
