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
CEN14CA362
The flight instructor and student pilot were practicing landings to a turf strip. On the first landing, the touchdown was normal until the student pilot applied full right rudder followed immediately with full left rudder. The flight instructor attempted to regain directional control of the airplane and attempted a go-around. The airplane entered grass to the left side of the strip and the airplanes momentum slowed. The instructor reduced the engine throttle to idle and applied the brakes. The airplane continued to roll and collided with a ground depression from a nearby motocross track. Substantial damage was sustained to the fuselage and firewall. There were no reported mechanical malfunctions or failures prior to the accident.
NTSB Probable Cause
The student pilot's improper flight control inputs resulting in a loss of control during the landing. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor's delayed remedial action.
