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 was returning from a local area flight and made a normal approach with a 3 point touchdown. After touchdown, the left wing lifted and the airplane veered to the left. He was unable to maintain directional control so he initiated a go-around. The airplane briefly became airborne before the right wing dropped and struck the ground and the airplane came to rest facing towards the east. According to the weather station located on the airport, the wind was reported as calm at the approximate time of the accident. However, during the time period from an hour before the accident to an hour after the accident wind conditions were reported as varying from 254 to 294 degrees with speeds of 7 to 9 knots.
