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, during approach to the 50-ft-wide runway in his airplane, which had a 54.5-ft wingspan, he maintained a left-wing-low attitude to account for a left crosswind and touched down 1 to 2 ft right of the runway centerline. While correcting toward the runway centerline, the right wing collided with a bush located off the right side of the runway, which resulted in substantial damage to the right aileron. The pilot indicated there was nothing mechanically wrong with the airplane that caused the collision and that he had flown into the same airstrip between 30 and 50 times. Following the accident, the bush was removed.
