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
WPR12CA390
The pilot said that everything seemed normal when the airplane was approaching the runway. As the airplane crossed over the trees on final approach, it was lined up with the runway centerline. Then the wind shifted to a crosswind, and the airplane veered to the side of the runway. The pilot attempted to realign the airplane with the runway, and added power to perform a go-around. However, the airplane touched down briefly and then bounced. The right wing struck a tree, and the airplane then spun into a line of trees, substantially damaging both wings and the fuselage.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s inadequate compensation for the crosswind during landing, which resulted in a loss of directional control.
Full Narrative
The pilot said that the airplane was approaching the runway and everything seemed normal. As he crossed trees on final approach, the airplane was lined up with the runway centerline. The airplane encountered a crosswind shift, and veered to the side of the runway. The pilot attempted to realign the airplane with the runway, and powered back up to perform a go-around. The airplane touched down, bounced, and the right wing clipped a tree; the airplane then spun into a tree line.
