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.

NTSB Number
CEN12CA394
The pilot reported that he was landing the tailwheel-equipped airplane and that the landing roll was smooth as the tail came down. He indicated that there was then no rudder control and that the airplane veered left. He brought the control stick back and applied right brake. The propeller struck the runway and the airplane nosed over. The vertical tail and rudder sustained substantial damage during the noseover. The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane during the flight and stated that he probably should have dropped the tail earlier in the landing roll to avoid the loss of rudder control.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's excessive brake application, leading to a noseover during the landing. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s delay in lowering the tail after landing.
