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 during the landing roll a strong gust of wind caused the airplane to veer to the right. The pilot’s efforts to correct the veer were unsuccessful, and the airplane exited the right side of the runway. The airplane impacted a ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the nose gear, the lower fuselage, empennage, and right wing. There were no preaccident anomalies with the airplane.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll in gusting wind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion.
Full Narrative
The pilot reported that during the landing roll, with all three landing gear on the runway he perceived that a strong gust of wind started to veer the airplane to the right. The pilot’s efforts to correct the veer were unsuccessful, directional control was lost, and the airplane exited the right side of the runway. The airplane impacted a ditch which collapsed the nose gear and the right wing impacted terrain. The airplane’s lower fuselage, empennage, and right wing were substantially damaged during the accident. Wind conditions at the time of the accident were 190 degrees at 19 knots gust 22 knots. There were no preaccident anomalies with the airplane.
