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
CEN13CA532
The private pilot was performing a three-point landing in the tail-wheel equipped airplane when shortly after touchdown the airplane began to drift to the right. The certified flight instructor reported that his efforts to correct the drift were unsuccessful and the nose of the airplane began to turn hard to the left as the right wing impacted the runway. There was substantial damage to the right wing and the right aileron. A postaccident examination of the airframe and engine revealed no evidence of mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing which resulted in an impact with the runway surface. A contributing factor was the certified flight instructor delayed response to the pilot's improper landing.
