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 said that he failed to maintain directional control after landing at night. The airplane exited the right side of the runway onto a grassy area, struck the edge of a paved taxiway, and came to a full stop on the taxiway with the engine still operating. The pilot added power to begin taxiing and discovered that he could only steer the airplane to the left. The pilot reported that he then added power to begin a taxiing left turn onto the grass in order clear the runway. While taxiing on the grass surface the nosewheel went down a slope and the propeller struck an obstruction. The impact caused substantial damage to the forward fuselage structure and the firewall.

Full Narrative
The pilot said that he failed to maintain directional control after landing in dark night visual conditions. The airplane exited the right side of the runway onto a grassy area, struck the edge of a paved taxiway, and then came to a full stop on the taxiway with the engine still operating. The pilot added power to begin taxiing and discovered he could steer the airplane only to the left. The pilot reported that he then added power to begin a taxiing left turn onto the grass “in order clear the runway.” While taxiing on the grass surface the nose wheel inadvertently went down a slope and the propeller struck an obstruction. The impact caused substantial damage to the forward fuselage structure and the firewall.
