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 was landing with a right gusty crosswind, which had a slight tailwind component. During the landing roll, a gust of wind lifted the airplane’s right wing, and the airplane veered off the right side of the runway. When the airplane rolled onto soft soil, it nosed over onto its back. The airplane’s left wing strut, about 3 feet of the left wing tip, and the vertical stabilizer were bent and wrinkled.
