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 flight instructor, he was taxing back to the ramp after landing when he was told to hold short on the taxiway due to a micro burst alert. As the airplane was coming to a stop, the winds flipped the airplane over inverted, and it resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the vertical stabilizer. According the ground controller, the surface winds were sustained at 48 knots with gusts as high as 64 knots. The flight instructor reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The inadvertent encounter with a microburst during taxi from landing that resulted in the aircraft being turned over inverted and receiving substantial damage.
