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.

CEN12CA219
The pilot reported that he was landing on runway 18 when the airplane started to yaw to the right. Rudder correction was not sufficient to stop the yaw, and the brakes did not seem to help. The runway consisted of about 8-inch-tall grass at the time. The pilot was ultimately unable to maintain directional control and the airplane rotated about 180 degrees before impacting a fence located about 30 feet from the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and aft fuselage. Wind near the accident site was from 210 degrees at 8 knots. The pilot reported that there were no failures or malfunctions associated with the airplane prior to the accident.
