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 returned to the airfield after a short cross-country flight. According to the pilot, he chose runway 36, and observed a slight crosswind off to the right. The pilot added that the tailwheel equipped airplane swerved left after touchdown, so he attempted a go-around maneuver; he closed the carburetor heat control and added full throttle. During the attempted go-around, the airplane's main landing gear remained in contact with the ground and the airplane exited the runway. The airplane then crossed between the runway and taxiway, impacted a snow berm, and came to rest inverted. Examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings. The pilot reported no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
