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, while landing in a left crosswind, the right main landing gear touched down first, followed by the left main landing gear, and the airplane veered left. The pilot performed a go-around and made a second landing without further incident. However, subsequent examination of the airplane revealed that the left wing had been substantially damaged due to contact with the runway during the first attempted landing. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. Review of weather data revealed that the wind was from about 50 degrees left of the runway heading at 12 knots at the time of the landing.

Full Narrative
The pilot reported that while landing in a left crosswind, the right main landing gear touched down first, followed by the left main landing gear. The airplane then turned left and the pilot added power for a go-around. The pilot performed a go-around and the second landing was uneventful. Subsequent examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the left wing had been substantially damaged due to contact with the runway. The pilot further stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. Review of weather data revealed that at the time of the landing, the wind was from about 50 degrees left of runway centerline at 12 knots.
