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 he landed the tailwheel-equipped airplane at the conclusion of a local flight. As he began to turn the airplane off the runway onto the taxiway, he “lost control” and the airplane nosed over, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane, and stated that he should have applied “more rudder and less brake.”
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot’s excessive use of wheel brakes while turning off the runway after landing resulting in a noseover.
