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 stated that during the landing flare, the airplane encountered a tailwind that caused the airplane to rapidly descend and land hard. The airplane touched down on all three wheels and then began to encounter pitch oscillations that caused the nose wheel to collapse. Subsequently the airplane nosed over which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. The pilot reported no preexisting mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's inadequate flare and failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing with a tailwind.
