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
CEN14CA025
While landing on runway 8, the airplane encountered a crosswind from the south. After the airplane touched down, the nose yawed 30 degrees to the right so the pilot advanced the throttle to perform a go-around. During the go-around, the tailwheel became entangled in a barbed-wire fence and the airplane impacted the ground. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing. The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot did not maintain directional control of the airplane while landing with a crosswind.
