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 stated that the wheel landing touchdown in the tailwheel equipped airplane was normal. After applying the brakes, the airplane turned 45 degrees to the left, and departed the runway surface. It crossed the grass infield, went onto a taxiway, and the left wing struck a hangar. The airplane turned right, and the right wing struck another hangar. Both wings sustained substantial damage. There was no report of a preimpact mechanical malfunction or failure with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll resulting in a runway excursion and collision with hangars.
