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.

According to the student pilot, he was returning to land after practicing flight maneuvers and thetower controller cleared him to land on runway 13. The pilot added that he observed the wind was light, with an occasional gust. He landed the airplane just past the threshold and was trying to slow down, when a gust of wind lifted the left wing. The airplane lifted up, flipped over, and came to rest inverted. Examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer and rudder. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
