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.

During the landing roll the pilot experienced an "aggressive shimmy" from the tailwheel and elected to abort the landing. He applied full power; the airplane veered off of the runway to the right and impacted two runway marking signs, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and wing strut. The pilot reported there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation
NTSB Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control, which resulted in a runway excursion, and a collision with runway marking signs.
