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 pilot, as he approached the airport he was cleared to land. The approach was uneventful, and the touchdown was a normal crosswind landing. During the landing roll out he felt a gust of wind, which resulted in the airplane drifting to the right. He applied full left rudder and brakes in an attempt to keep the airplane centered on the runway. However, the airplane veered off of the right side of the runway into the grass and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing and vertical stabilizer. At the time of the accident, the wind in the area was reported from 010 degrees at 7 knots. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal operation prior to the accident.
